| HugeCannon | I'm havin a really strange ssh/network/dns problem with my ubuntu server. It's currently set to static ip 192.168.2.100 on my home network and i ssh into it via this ip. However, recently it has been acting up and can start to get laggy and intermittent to the point where the connection actually falls through. | 00:14 |
| acovrig | does anyone know how to use xrandr? | 00:14 |
| HugeCannon | After the connection falling through, I did a "ping 192.168.2.100" on my laptop runnign windows which gave along the following lines: "Pinging 192.168.2.100... reply from 192.168.2.5 ... not responding" | 00:15 |
| HugeCannon | It seems that somewhere along the lines the IP it is looking for is changing from .100 to .5 somewhere but I cant for the life of me find where. | 00:15 |
| HugeCannon | Any ideas? | 00:15 |
| acovrig | HugeCannon, is your router forwarding things? | 00:16 |
| frank82vt | how can i restore the system in linux in similar form like windows? | 00:17 |

| posey | its showing up in ideviceinfo but rhythbox gives me the initialize ipod saying its uninitialized or corrupted | 00:56 |
| Cynthia | Joelito: you probably forgot some of the files in your /home directory, namely the hidden ones (.filename). What command/program/method did you use to recopy your files to the old root's /home^ | 00:56 |
| lawrence | Everytime I loose power Linux goes bad. | 00:56 |
| Cynthia | ? rather, not ^ | 00:56 |
| Cynthia | lawrence: Sounds like a reinstall after backing up /home would do your computer a lot of good | 00:57 |
| Cynthia | (also /etc) | 00:57 |
| lawrence | Ubuntu was fine until I had lost power and now I can't get into it. | 00:57 |

| Joelito | Cynthia, I used # sudo cp -r * /media/new_partition | 00:58 |
| Gwar | Hey guys. Is it possible to write a bash script that has a sudo command and include the password inside the bash script? I know its a bad idea, I have my reasons tho! | 00:58 |
| Cynthia | Joelito, that command omits .files from the current directory, but preserves .files from subdirectories. If you still have access to your old /home partition, issue this additional command: cp .* /media/new_partition | 00:59 |
| Joelito | Cynthia, yeah, just confirmed it didn't copy the hidden files | 00:59 |
| wildbat | Gwar, nope, and not supported | 00:59 |

| Jangal | how can I add paremeters to kernel? | 01:01 |
| Jangal | so how do I edit grub 2? | 01:01 |
| Cynthia | Joelito: (+) The dot on its own refers to the current directory, and 'cp' correctly grabs the list of all files without exception if you use the dot | 01:02 |

| jkalex05 | is there anyway i can monitor ip addresses from people i chat with on pidgin | 02:04 |
| bw21 | jkalex05: I think you could do it with a netstat command | 02:04 |
| woodyjlw | can anyone help me with gallium3d? I have ubuntu 10.04 with ati 200m. I think its the r300 chip. is it already installed on ubuntu 10.04 or do I need to install it manually? | 02:04 |
| detrix42 | Hello, I have just setup a dual monitor system, currenly configured as two separate X windows. Is there a way to transfer a window on screen0 to screen1? Or do I have to do a twinview? | 02:04 |
| jkalex05 | bw21 doesnt that just check local network | 02:05 |
| bw21 | jkalex05: not if you type -t as argument (-u for udp) | 02:05 |
| Asa1 | jkalex05: it depends on what protocol you are using. If you are using XMPP/Jabber/Google Talk, then you never connect to that person so you never find their IP address. The only way I know that you would get a direct connection is to initiate a file transfer | 02:05 |
| Asa1 | some other protocols might connect directly and expose their IP. | 02:06 |
| Guest1064 | 35 second boot in ubuntu or 20 seconds in another .. | 02:06 |
| bw21 | jkalex05: Asa1 knows better :) | 02:07 |

| Doyle2 | Anyone know what would cause the login screen to display only the background and not the user list or option bar in Lucid? | 02:14 |
| Joit | I go the normal way trough install, i think it is text based | 02:14 |
| Joit | so, not that it starts allready something | 02:14 |
| LJRuff | Joit, do you see menus? | 02:14 |
| Joit | it is even, when it want install the basic | 02:14 |
| Joit | the first one i do cna pick my language | 02:15 |
| Joit | and the installer menu , but thats it | 02:15 |
| LJRuff | Joit, CLI is like a terminal window. There's just text - no menus, no "Ok/Cancel" buttons, etc. | 02:15 |
| Joit | when it starts to run, the monitor turns black | 02:15 |
| LJRuff | Then it's GUI, not CLI | 02:15 |
| LJRuff | Joit, you said there was a checksum error? | 02:15 |

| Nicole | ljruff, it is a brand new install | 02:22 |
| Joit | i am not sure about that, because as more i look at the net, as more i find other reasons for it | 02:22 |

| sebsebseb | Nicole: or two | 02:31 |
| sebsebseb | Nicole: go use 9.10 then or whatever works? | 02:31 |

| sebsebseb | Nicole: well theres recovery mode now | 02:32 |
| sebsebseb | Nicole: you can go into that from Grub | 02:32 |

| pnunn | Nicole: try <ctl-alt> F1 this will give you a test login, login there and then setup your x | 02:32 |
| sebsebseb | Nicole: you can run commands, and if you have installed the driver and issues, you can fix xorg like this even and such | 02:32 |

| diwant | I used fsck -yv to 'fix' a ext4 partition that had 10.04 on it. Now when I boot, many key files seem to be missing, like my python binaries (/usr/lib/python points to python2.6 which is missing) | 02:40 |
| xangua | !gksu | 02:40 |
| ubottu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 02:40 |
| coz_ | starwatcher, or in terminal sudo passwd root choose a root password then type su then root password and just type dolphin but sudo dolphin should suffice | 02:40 |
| Vigo | yudun1989: That is what our bot says , | 02:40 |
| diwant | I can't run apt-get because of the missing python files | 02:40 |

| Geoff918 | Nitsuga: Yes, that's true. And, Postgres does not have read/write privileges on /home/*user* but what do I do about it? | 02:46 |

| === chaz_ is now known as Guest76519 | ||
| joey_ | coz: and when I do "sudo xinit" it takes me to a terminal in x, but no window manager or DE | 02:47 |
| Nitsuga | Geoff918, you are not using the root account, but a "postgres" one, to exec psql. Try adding the -i flag, si it will run in postgres home folder | 02:47 |
| Nitsuga | *so | 02:48 |
| wa5pb | anyone know anything about setting up xim as the default input method? | 02:48 |
| === shade_ is now known as \shade\ | ||
| Geoff918 | Nitsuga: Okay, so basically sudo -u postgres psql -i dbname and that will run under .postgres or I'm not aware of a /home/postgres user...I'll give it a go | 02:49 |
| coz_ | joey_, and restart gdm didnt work... did you check the cd for errors before installing? and tell me how old of a system is this? how much system memory what type number of nvidia card | 02:49 |
| joey_ | it | 02:49 |
| coz_ | joey_, for the nvidia card you can type in terminal lspci | grep -i vga | 02:50 |
| joey_ | coz: it's an old g4 ppc, 768 ram, geforce 2 I think. but the livecd boots fine and runs gnome just fine if I do nouveau.blacklist=true at the command line | 02:50 |
| hoverbear1 | Dawww, ubuntu alternative can't figure out my net. :S | 02:50 |
| Nitsuga | Geoff918, use sudo -ui postgres psql and it will run in whatever postgres home folder is (I beleive that it is located in /var, you can check with sudo grep postgres /etc/passwd ) | 02:50 |
| joey_ | coz: like I said, I think that enabling nv would do it, I just don't know how to. 9.04 and 9.10 worked fine... | 02:50 |
| janice | blendmaster1024: wel you could alwats use this one time-a.nist.gov | 02:50 |

| blendmaster1024 | janice, ok. how do i set it? | 02:51 |
| coz_ | joey_, unfortunately actually | 02:51 |
| Nitsuga | Geoff918, mm it is bad, sudo sudo -i -u postgres psql , in that order | 02:51 |
| coz_ | joey_, I would try a couple things... first inset the live cd and choose the check disk for errors | 02:51 |
| Geoff918 | Nitsuga: That last one did the trick! :) | 02:51 |
| Geoff918 | I'll post that to the forums and mark [SOLVED] | 02:52 |
| Nitsuga | Geoff918, great :) | 02:52 |
| coz_ | joey_, if that presents no issues I would download and try the alternate cd or the minimal cd install | 02:52 |

| Uruoki | EDinNY : I had ethernet working last night fine, but today it doesn't. However the cable works, because I had it working on my xbox. | 03:31 |
| HermanDE_ | Sasquatch7, exit | 03:31 |
| EDinNY | do you have some server that assigns ip address? | 03:31 |
| luke-jr | seidos: automatically meaning without manually connecting to it even once | 03:31 |
| Uruoki | It is a home computer. | 03:31 |
| Uruoki | So no. | 03:31 |
| EDinNY | what is? | 03:32 |
| Uruoki | It is Ubuntu on a laptop | 03:32 |
| fearful | yoyoned, na Synaptics is just the brand of the Touchpad is there away to restart it | 03:32 |
| EDinNY | so, do you have a dsl router? | 03:32 |
| Uruoki | Yea. | 03:32 |
| EDinNY | or cable router? | 03:32 |
| Uruoki | DSL. | 03:32 |
| EDinNY | it usually has a dhcp server which lends out ip addresses | 03:32 |
| EDinNY | can you open a terminal on your desktop? | 03:32 |
| Sasquatch7 | HermanDE_: Doesn't seem to kick me. I can still access a file without using a password. | 03:32 |
| Uruoki | Yea, give me a second to walk to the computer. | 03:33 |
| Uruoki | OK it is open. | 03:33 |
| EDinNY | type "ifconfig" and you will see all the ip addresses assigned to interfaces | 03:33 |
| Uruoki | It is the local host. | 03:34 |
| EDinNY | that is all you see? | 03:34 |
| Uruoki | Yep. | 03:34 |
| R0b0t1 | Hello, I'm on an iMac. Ubuntu did not offer to install the closed-source accelerated driver, how may I install it? | 03:34 |
| R0b0t1 | Graphics driver, I mean. | 03:34 |
| Uruoki | Well not all, but there is some stuff about packets and stuff. | 03:34 |
| kurtis | Hey guys. I keep having this weird problem where I'm unable to use any mouse clicks on my laptop randomly. I've tried both with the built in mouse buttons and an external mouse. Any ideas? | 03:34 |
| EDinNY | rats. I know how to do this from a command line, but not using the gui things | 03:34 |
| Uruoki | I have time, I can try it. Haha. | 03:35 |
| HermanDE_ | Sasquatch7, The default timeout is 15 minutes.... | 03:35 |
| R0b0t1 | kurtis: I forget exactly, but are you typing when this happens? There's a feature which disables the mouse while typing. | 03:35 |
| EDinNY | try sudo /etc/init.d/network restart | 03:35 |
| R0b0t1 | kurtis: Was pretty goddamned annoying, but sounds like you might have it turned on. (it's on by default) | 03:35 |
| HermanDE_ | Sasquatch7, During the fifteen minute window if you sudo something again, the timer will reset.... | 03:35 |
| kurtis | R0b0t1: Sometimes it appears to work that way but I have it turned off in the menu | 03:35 |
| Sasquatch7 | HermanDE_: Ok thanks, is it possible to time it out sooner with a command? | 03:35 |
| kurtis | R0b0t1: Like right now I can use the mouse and type. Web Browsers seem to trigger it a lot | 03:36 |
| Uruoki | EDinNY command not found. | 03:36 |
| R0b0t1 | kurtis: Hmmm... Keep asking then, I don't keep up with a lot of the bugs ;) | 03:36 |
| codebrainz | Uruoki, 'networking' | 03:36 |
| EDinNY | which command? | 03:36 |
| kurtis | R0b0t1: lol that's cool. thanks for the suggestion though :) | 03:36 |
| HermanDE_ | Sasquatch7, do a sudo -k | 03:36 |
| kurtis | Has anyone else experienced the random inability to perform mouse clicks before? The cursor moves just fine. It doesn't seem to make a difference between built-in trackpad or external mouse | 03:37 |
| Uruoki | EDinNY "Sudo: /etc/init.d/network: not found" | 03:37 |
| Sasquatch7 | HermanDE_: Thanks just what I was looking for! | 03:37 |
| codebrainz | Uruoki, EDinNY /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:37 |
| EDinNY | no colon after sudo and it is not caps | 03:37 |
| Uruoki | EdinNy, there wasn't a colon, that was the output message of the command not being found. | 03:38 |
| EDinNY | ls /etc/init.d/network <-you should see the file | 03:38 |
| codebrainz | Uruoki, EDinNY mean to say 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' | 03:38 |
| EDinNY | yes | 03:39 |
| HermanDE_ | Uruoki, SYSV init is depreciated in Ubuntu | 03:39 |
| fearful | yoyoned, ok I tried restarting nothing happened still stuck. Then I restarted system and I can use mouse until it loads my Desktop when its loaded I can't use it anymore | 03:39 |
| Uruoki | No such file. | 03:39 |
| Raj | Hi | 03:39 |
| Nitsuga | Uruoki, linux is case-sensitive. It is sudo, not Sudo | 03:39 |
| EDinNY | I am using 9. they changed it in 10? | 03:39 |
| Uruoki | I'm not typing it with caplize. | 03:39 |
| EDinNY | right. no caps | 03:39 |
| Uruoki | Everything is lower case. | 03:40 |
| codebrainz | EDinNY, it's still there (at least on a 9.10 -> 10.04 u/g) | 03:40 |
| Raj | I'm trying to install Ubuntu on to my laptop. I pressed "install Ubuntu on my hard drive". White text shows up and my computer screen just disappears. I'm guessing my .iso is faulty - is there something like sha1sum so I can check the iso's integrity? | 03:40 |
| Uruoki | "ls /etc/init.d/network" Correct? | 03:40 |
| codebrainz | Uruoki, for the 20th time, /etc/init.d/networking restart | 03:40 |
| codebrainz | networkING | 03:41 |
| codebrainz | ING | 03:41 |
| EDinNY | right. networking | 03:41 |
| Uruoki | Ok it is reconfiguring. | 03:41 |
| Uruoki | Sorry, it has been a long day. | 03:41 |
| Zalithian | It's always nice to see people on here who aren't arrogant dbags. | 03:41 |
| Uruoki | Reconfiguring network interfaces [OK] | 03:42 |
| codebrainz | Raj, there's a check CD option when you boot from the install CD iirc | 03:43 |
| Uruoki | EDinNY, I did the networking restart. | 03:43 |
| EDinNY | and>? | 03:43 |
| EDinNY | and? | 03:43 |
| === marcio is now known as Guest84769 | ||
| Uruoki | Reconfiguring network interfaces [OK] | 03:44 |
| Raj | Thanks codebrainz | 03:44 |
| Uruoki | That is it. | 03:44 |
| Raj | but I'm booting from a usb, there's no option | 03:44 |
| EDinNY | urucki, odd. should happen automatically when you boot linux | 03:44 |
| ma9006 | hello there | 03:45 |
| Uruoki | EDinNY : I am thinking it is my modem, because I have wireless working on my Vista Laptop, wireless on PSP, and Ethernet working on my Xbox 360. | 03:45 |
| ma9006 | Does anybody know where are the "Keyboard Shortcuts" settings saved? I'd like to backup them | 03:45 |
| Uruoki | EDinNY : However I tried 3 different ethernet ports, and cords. Can't seem to get ethernet working on any computer. | 03:46 |

| noob | how do i switch to kubuntu and how do i turn off deskop effects | 03:48 |
| seidos | thune3, I'll try | 03:48 |
| luke-jr | aptitude install kubuntu-desktop ; aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop ; reboot | 03:48 |
| luke-jr | then go into System Settings under Desktop | 03:48 |
| noob | will that change my entire gui? | 03:48 |
| luke-jr | yes | 03:48 |
| ma9006 | nah, don't move to kubuntu | 03:48 |
| luke-jr | in theory you can leave both installed to try it | 03:48 |
| ma9006 | just turn off the desktop effects in Ubuntu | 03:49 |
| bastid_raZor | luke-jr: removing ubuntu-desktop will not get rid gnome | 03:49 |
| luke-jr | bastid_raZor: I know, a shame | 03:49 |
| ma9006 | also try to reinstall it | 03:49 |
| bastid_raZor | luke-jr: no, you're suggesting the incorrect command | 03:49 |
| codebrainz | noob, and it won't necessarily be faster (likely slower) | 03:49 |

| Taev | so thats it? apt-get install ubuntu-desktop for gnome ? | 04:02 |
| Raj | Again, the Ubuntu splash screen with the different options comes up, but after I press anything (boot from usb, install onto hard drive, etc), it just turns black after a few lines of code. | 04:02 |
| codebrainz | Raj, when it goes black, is the light on the flash drive blinking? it boots SUPER slow | 04:03 |
| R0b0t1 | Hello. I try to install the "Broadcom STA wireless driver", but it errors out and tells me to look at the log file, which is here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/228291/ | 04:03 |

| seidos | noob, hmmm, sounds like you could use some extra memory. now look at %mem. | 04:03 |
| noob | seidos, i dont see that | 04:03 |
| codebrainz | Raj, for example it takes around 10 minutes for the livecd to boot on my computer. | 04:03 |
| Raj | Codebrainz, yes, it is blinking. But by super slow do you mean >30 minutes? It's a new laptop (i5) and the flash drive is good too. | 04:04 |
| Dmstrdj | codebrainz the usb will be faster at boot | 04:04 |
| codebrainz | Raj, i seriously doubt 30 min. What's the "code" that shows on the screen? | 04:04 |

| Gryllida | these two anyways | 04:07 |
| blendmaster1024 | Empathy. how do i connect it to a random XMPP server? | 04:07 |
| codebrainz | Uruoki, it's entirely possible | 04:07 |
| Gryllida | _maybe_ it's /server servernamehere, never tried though | 04:07 |
| bastid_raZor | noob: use xubuntu instead of ubuntu.. it does a bit better with low ram | 04:07 |
| Raj | codebrainz, its just stuff like "registered cpu, ram, usb drive". Also my flash drive doesn't light up any more. | 04:07 |
| Uruoki | codebrainz, Anyway I can check what was updated and revert it back? | 04:07 |
| blendmaster1024 | i opened it, it doesn't mention raw XMPP, just particular services, not including google talk | 04:07 |
| luke-jr | How do I get Ubuntu to automatically connect to any open access point it finds? | 04:08 |
| codebrainz | Uruoki, i believe so, ask the channel, I'm not 100% how | 04:08 |
| blendmaster1024 | wait, i just missed it | 04:08 |

| blendmaster1024 | maybe? | 04:08 |

| JackStoner | noob, xubuntu uses xfce, its not much of a difference in UI if you've used gnome for a while | 04:09 |
| codebrainz | Uruoki, if the kernel was upgraded, you should see the old one in the grub menu when you boot, try selecting the older version and see what happens | 04:09 |
| Traveler | my Tv is conected via DVI to HDMI but my TV says unsuported RES how do change it | 04:09 |
| seidos | noob, yes xubuntu has a different gui | 04:10 |

| Uruoki | codebrainz, it wasn't the kernel. I wish it was though. | 04:10 |
| noob | will it be a noticeabley faster experience with xubuntu or just a little? i dread reinstalling OSes | 04:10 |
| Raj | codebrainz, there isn't. | 04:10 |
| seidos | noob, you don't have to reinstall ubuntu. IIRC you can just type sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 04:11 |
| JackStoner | noob, it will certainly be faster if you are using an old machine | 04:11 |
| seidos | JackStoner, noob has an athlon 3400+ and 500MB of ram | 04:11 |
| noob | ahem 3200+ | 04:11 |
| bastid_raZor | noob: you don't need to reinstall, just install xubuntu-desktop and if you like it you can get rid of gnome/ubuntu.. read !purexfce | 04:11 |
| JackStoner | seidos, then it will be faster :P | 04:11 |
| noob | top of the line back in its day =P | 04:11 |
| wise_crypt | noob: try apt-get install fluxbox | 04:12 |
| codebrainz | Raj, I'm pretty sure it's in there somehow, try the F keys, F6 maybe, and you can remove the graphics stuff from the kernel options (I don't want to boot a livecd to find it) | 04:12 |
| seidos | my mistake, 3200+ | 04:12 |
| wise_crypt | noob: try * sudo apt-get install fluxbox | 04:12 |

| codebrainz | Raj, i think it's F4 key | 04:12 |
| JackStoner | lol | 04:12 |
| wise_crypt | no it some kind like xfce | 04:12 |

| rww | myrk: no idea, I'm not a Canonical sysadmin. It happens on occasion. | 04:33 |
| myrk | ok.. | 04:33 |
| codebrainz | Merlin_, you should be able to run mkfs straight on the image file without mounting it | 04:33 |
| MMKaho | Anybody have any experience with Ralink RT3070 drivers on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid ? | 04:33 |
| Merlin_ | you can sort synaptic by install packages | 04:33 |

| prince_jammys | JoeByte: welcome | 04:35 |
| jungleberrykid | Can anybody help me? | 04:35 |

| JoeByte | prince_jammys: it works fine but its a little confusing, "for file in *" is cycling through the current dir, but how does it know that i want * files in a dir | 04:37 |
| Taev | how do I set GDM to start automatically ? | 04:37 |
| codebrainz | Merlin_, i basically came to the conclusion that it's not feasible (i was making some build scripts as well). ymmv | 04:37 |
| prince_jammys | JoeByte: that's what * does: expands to all non-dotfiles in the present dir. | 04:37 |

| cesar_CR_ | no sorry 64 | 04:40 |
| cesar_CR_ | codebrainz, AMD64 | 04:40 |
| myrk | what is the difference between the prerm file and the postinst file in .deb packages? | 04:40 |
| codebrainz | myrk, prerm happens before the uninstall, postinst happens after the install | 04:41 |
| myrk | codebrainz so if nothing is uninstalled, then the prerm isnt used? | 04:42 |
| codebrainz | myrk, prerm is only run right before uninstalling the package | 04:43 |
| cesar_CR_ | codebrainz, I have to use the amd64 version ? | 04:43 |
| myrk | ok thanks | 04:43 |
| myrk | :) | 04:43 |
| codebrainz | cesar_CR_, no, it's a kernel bug I think | 04:43 |
| cesar_CR_ | codebrainz, ufff well I'll start googling | 04:44 |

| somethinginteres | codebrainz: Yes, thanks I am reading that faac support was taken out of Lucid due to GPL conflicts FAAD seems to be a different kettle of fish that doesn't violate GPL but my problem is how do I go about adding the ability to encode using FAAD2 into mencoder? | 04:57 |
| codebrainz | MMKaho, how did you compile the module? | 04:57 |
| MMKaho | sudo make | 04:58 |

| MMKaho | warnings but no errors | 04:59 |
| Kyo | ok :D | 04:59 |
| somethinginteres | codebrainz: ah, I think FAAD2 is only a decoder I'll just have to use faac but I am not sure how to get mplayer or mencoder to regonise it. Would I need to uninstall mplayer etc and re-install from source or can I add it in without a re-install? | 04:59 |
| MMKaho | a bunch of warning: the frame size of 1588 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes | 04:59 |

| MMKaho | though the frame size changes in each warning | 04:59 |
| codebrainz | MMKaho, i'm certainly no expert, it sounds like maybe you compiled against the wrong kernel headers or something (total guess) | 05:00 |

| kurtis | Hey guys, I'm still having this problem with my mouse buttons randomly quit working. I am 90% sure its a software problem though as it happens randomly and it doesn't matter if I'm using my trackpad buttons or an external mouse. Common triggers seem to be opening applications like web browsers. Any suggestions? | 05:20 |
| codebrainz | soreau, i think it's part of this "indicator applet" | 05:20 |
| bluefox83 | soreau: just add another volume control to it >.> | 05:20 |
| bastid_raZor | soreau: that is the 'indicator applet' not the notification | 05:20 |
| MACscr | grr, anyone else having issues with watching a flash video in one window, then a stupid flash banner opens in another firefox tab and it blanks out the video? | 05:21 |
| verb3k_ | soreau, the "same" applet I don't know, but you could run "gnome-volume-control-applet" to get it back | 05:21 |
| Matr|x | yes | 05:21 |
| soreau | Christ, why is there notification area AND indicator applet? I just want evolution to die already | 05:21 |
| Matr|x | required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: | 05:21 |
| Matr|x | No module named logging | 05:21 |
| bastid_raZor | soreau: heh, you're welcome | 05:21 |
| soreau | bastid_raZor: I want this evolution to burn | 05:22 |
| soreau | with fire | 05:22 |
| codebrainz | Matr|x, you need python, then you'll have the logging module | 05:22 |
| soreau | and never come back | 05:22 |

| soreau | no. I want nothing to do with mail icons on my panel. How do I get rid of the evolution icon in the 'indicator applet' area? | 05:23 |

| codebrainz | qwiksilver711, you're sure it's not just muted? | 05:31 |
| codebrainz | blackrock, no /dev/video0 or 1 or anything? | 05:32 |
| qwiksilver711 | yes, well if i check the sound up in the top right its not muted, and the laptop has two headphone jacks and a set of speakers, and one of the headphone jacks works, but nothing else does | 05:32 |

| jook | chelz: Do I use the wubildr from that link, or the one in my install directory? what about the .mbr? And do I put them i nthe root of each drive? | 06:30 |
| iceroot | i am loading a kernel-modul with modprobe and the modul is loaded in my session but lost at reboot. how to always load that modul? with editing /boot/grub/menu.lst or is there another way? | 06:30 |

| uLinux | hi | 06:31 |
| Deathspawn | My title bars and border crashed, anyone know the command to restart them? | 06:32 |
| jook | chelz: so, recreate the folders? | 06:32 |
| chelz | Jordan_U: yeah i'm not sure, this is a test | 06:32 |
| uLinux | how can I extract an incomplete .rar? | 06:32 |
| codebrainz | iceroot, i think you can add it to /etc/modules file | 06:32 |
| iceroot | codebrainz: ah thx, i will have a look | 06:32 |
| canthus13 | Deathspawn: kill gnome-panel. if that doesn't work, reboot. | 06:32 |
| chelz | jook: i think so. if that doesn't work try putting it without folders, but after trying with folders | 06:33 |
| iceroot | codebrainz: nothing like that on lucid | 06:33 |
| jook | chelz :I'm just gonna take the shotgun approach. I'll make a set on the root and in folders. | 06:33 |
| chelz | jook: but you won't know what fixed it then :/ | 06:33 |
| codebrainz | iceroot, i'm pretty sure there is | 06:33 |
| wildbat | my desktop don't have the option to suspend the pc ~ how should i enable/debug it ? | 06:33 |
| jook | chelz: I suppose not, but this was supposed to be easy. I don't care what fixes it.. ;) Unless you want me to really go step by step so I can report back and improve general knowledge of the situation. | 06:34 |
| iceroot | codebrainz: ah soorry, thought its a dir, so tab with cd was showing nothing | 06:34 |
| codebrainz | iceroot, yeah, just append the name of your module to that file | 06:34 |
| iceroot | codebrainz: thanks, that is what i was looking for | 06:35 |
| chelz | jook: please do :) | 06:35 |
| jook | chelz: I'll do it part at a time. If it doesnt work i nthe root directory, it's only one extra reboot to try again. I will report back soon. | 06:35 |
| codebrainz | iceroot, np | 06:36 |
| Deathspawn | Meh | 06:39 |
| Deathspawn | rebooted, same thing. | 06:39 |

| Guest561651 | I have an Ubuntu install on another computer, and I've just installed Ubuntu on this computer. Is it possible to list all of the packages I've ever explicitly installed via apt-get and redirect it to a file, and then open that file on this computer and install those packages? | 06:45 |
| codebrainz | mataks, that's more of a os-side verion though | 06:45 |
| chelz | jook: any idea what it says before it goes to the prompt? | 06:45 |
| mataks | codebrainz, thanks i'll take a look | 06:45 |

| blacktux | hello | 06:48 |
| chelz | jook: eh well you could try uninstalling wubi and just install to a partition. removing ubuntu installed to a partition isn't any harder from uninstalling normal wubi, you just resize your windows partition to grow into the space ubuntu used to take | 06:48 |
| oasa | !lynx | 06:48 |
| ubottu | Browsers available for Ubuntu: Firefox (GTK, Gecko engine), Konqueror (KDE/Qt, KHTML engine), Epiphany (GTK, Gecko engine), Dillo (GTK), w3m (terminal-based), Links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !man page), edbrowse (command-line), Opera (Qt, proprietary) | 06:48 |
| Guest561651 | chelz: one question though: will that install all the packages installed on the first system, or just those explicitly installed? This matters because if I delete a pacakge in the future, it will only recursively delete "orphans" (i.e. packages that were a dependency but no longer are) if they themselves were not explicitly installed. | 06:49 |
| MMKaho | codebrainz | 06:49 |
| codebrainz | yo | 06:49 |
| MMKaho | Ok i got the drivers to compile but the adpater is not showing in the wireless list | 06:49 |
| MMKaho | it even inserted | 06:49 |
| jook | chelz: I would have tried that already, but I haven't got any blank discs to burn the iso. I'm not afraid of repartinioning and doing a normal dual-boot install. I just can't. | 06:49 |
| codebrainz | MMKaho, in the GUI? | 06:49 |
| MMKaho | gui? | 06:49 |
| chelz | Guest561651: that's a good question. you might try seeing where that kind of stuff is stored in apt, some apt cache or database thing, so you can install from that list, then copy over the database or something | 06:50 |
| Guest561651 | jook: you can use a usb drive | 06:50 |
| toolbear | say, what is this "launchpad-integration" package? i mean, is it actually referring to the website launchpad.net, or what? | 06:50 |
| lorenzosu | Hi all. Is there a quick way to have samba network shares visible in Firefox "save" dialogue? | 06:50 |
| MMKaho | what GUI i was never told anything about a gui | 06:50 |
| chelz | jook: any usb drives available? | 06:50 |
| codebrainz | MMKaho, in nm-applet the gnome thingy? | 06:50 |
| Guest561651 | jook: or use Wubi for a temporary solution | 06:50 |
| codebrainz | MMKaho, in the panel, the little network dealy | 06:50 |
| jook | can it be an external hard drive? | 06:50 |
| MMKaho | oh the arrows | 06:50 |
| MMKaho | no :( | 06:50 |
| Guest561651 | jook: of course | 06:50 |
| jook | Alright, I'll extract the iso to an external HDD and see if I can install from there. | 06:51 |
| Guest561651 | jook: try using the method for an ordinary USB flash drive | 06:51 |
| uLinux | why Conky keeps disappearing from desktop | 06:51 |
| Guest561651 | jook: flash drives and externel hard drives "look" the same to the comptuer | 06:51 |
| MMKaho | yea not there either | 06:51 |
| jook | Guest561651: I've never installed from a USB drive before. Is there a guide? | 06:51 |
| chelz | jook: use unetbootin | 06:51 |
| chelz | ubuntu has some sort of guide but it's more complicated than it needs to be | 06:51 |
| Guest561651 | jook: I think there are instructions right off the home page | 06:52 |
| Guest561651 | jook or listen to chelz's advice | 06:52 |
| Guest561651 | jook: I'm not too experienced with this sort of thing | 06:52 |
| jook | chelz: I don't know what that is, but google will tell me. | 06:52 |

| chelz | jook: probably should look into removing wubi before doing a normal install | 06:53 |
| jook | chelz: Yeah, I figured I would uninstall first. | 06:54 |
| Mr_Sonoma | if your system will boot off a USB device its not any diff from a cd install. under SYSTEM, ADMINISTRATION, START UP DISK CREATOR is the easy to follow GUI for creating the usb install drive | 06:54 |

| qwiksilver711 | question, with ubuntu getting a new version each april, when a new one comes out, like when mavrick comes out next year, do you lose everything when you install maverick? | 06:54 |
| Guest561651 | chelz, jook: wubi or no wubi shouldn't matter afaik, not a bad idea to uninstall though just to reclaim disk space | 06:54 |
| Guest561651 | especially considering you'll have to shrink your ntfs partition to install Ubuntu | 06:54 |
| xangua | qwiksilver711: ubuntu is released every 6 months | 06:55 |
| haura | bandung | 06:55 |
| jook | Mr_Sonoma: Is that from linux? I can't boot in there | 06:55 |
| MMKaho | codebrainz i have even rebooted to see if that was the issue | 06:55 |
| jook | Guest561651: That's what I thought. I jsut don't want to blow ten gigs. | 06:55 |
| Guest561651 | jook: follow the instructions on the link I gave you; it has windows instructions http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 06:55 |
| qwiksilver711 | ok xangua, so when it is realased then in october, is it like a complete new os install each time? | 06:55 |
| codebrainz | MMKaho, not sure. check if the wireless is in the /etc/network/interfaces file, if so, comment it out | 06:55 |
| jook | Guest561651: Thanks, I'll take a look there. | 06:56 |
| xangua | qwiksilver711: no, you just update | 06:56 |

| peterkls | anyone get broadcom wireless working in ubuntu with kernel 2.6.35 | 06:57 |

| vishu | hey guys my dell inspiron is not giving sound in ubuntu what could be the problem? | 06:57 |
| jook | Mr_Sonoma: Doesn't do me any good then, I'm stuck in windows. Thanks though. I think guest561651 has found the way | 06:57 |
| peterkls | ubuntu rocks when it works xd | 06:57 |
| chelz | oh yeah startup disk creator is good | 06:57 |
| xangua | Distrogasm: use ubuntu live cd or either gparted live cd | 06:58 |
| Colonel_Panic | I'm running ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell Mini 9 and I just got a Kodak SD card at CVS | 06:58 |
| Mr_Sonoma | would using the startup disk creator from a live cd on another computer be a solution? | 06:58 |
| ennui | is there an application I can run from the command line that makes my cursor an 'x' and allows me to kill the clicked application? | 06:58 |
| Colonel_Panic | it's not being recognized | 06:58 |
| Colonel_Panic | this card works in WinXP | 06:58 |
| jook | Mr_Sonoma: If I could make a live cd, I wouldnt need to go from a USB drive. I don't have any blank discs | 06:58 |
| Colonel_Panic | all my other SD HC cards work on this Linux machine | 06:59 |
| Deathspawn | thank god for KDE | 06:59 |
| Mr_Sonoma | ah ok, i missunderstood i thought the issue was the system needing ubuntu didnt have a optical drive | 06:59 |
| jook | Mr_Sonoma: Nope. I'm all out of CDRs lol | 06:59 |
| Colonel_Panic | anybody have any ideas? | 06:59 |
| chelz | jook: usb booting, for the record, is ridiculously awesome | 07:00 |
| chelz | Colonel_Panic: backup the stuff on the card and format it to fat32 with gparted in ubuntu | 07:00 |
| jook | chelz: I don't want to stay booting from USB. I just want to install from there | 07:00 |
| Colonel_Panic | where might I find this card in /dev/? | 07:00 |
| chelz | jook: yeah, but just the experience is way better | 07:00 |
| Guest561651 | chelz: the link you gave me seems to do exactly what I want; dpkg only outputs explictly installed packages with --get-selections. Much thanks! | 07:00 |
| Colonel_Panic | I already formatt3ed it to FAT32 in WinXP | 07:00 |
| Colonel_Panic | there's nothi9ng on the card | 07:01 |
| chelz | Colonel_Panic: if your system sees it, gparted will list it | 07:01 |
| Colonel_Panic | it's brand new | 07:01 |
| Colonel_Panic | yeah that's the problem | 07:01 |
| scottj | Anyone use a kindle w/ os 2.5 and pdfs and ubuntu? How do you copy them? I'm thinking about buying one w/ price drop but want to make sure it works well w/ linux | 07:01 |

| saboat | Okay, so I did a fresh install. Sound worked great. Later I install my nvidia driver, remove all the gnome panels and use gnome-do instead. Sound is not working. I've tried searching but havent found anything useful. Suggestions? | 07:03 |
| mad_dog | I'm using 10.04 and can't get hulu to play videos..any ideas? | 07:03 |
| Gwar | Hi all. is it possible to allow sudo to be able to run at boot for (say) a Minute after login? I currently have to run a program manually as sudo every time I login and it's frustrating to have to type out a 20+ long password twice, especially since I just logged in! D: | 07:03 |
| toolbear | mad_dog: what is "hulu"? | 07:03 |
| saboat | toolbear: hulu.com | 07:04 |
| jook | Gwar: It's possible to set scripts to run on login. You could probably do it through there, but I'm not familiar enough with the process to link you. | 07:04 |
| toolbear | hmm, is that flash video, then? | 07:04 |
| xangua | mad_dog: install flashm install codecs¿ | 07:05 |
| mad_dog | i can see the ads but the programs just dont play. I get a blank screen. every other site works. | 07:05 |
| mad_dog | including youtube.com | 07:05 |
| Gwar | jook, thank you. I know how to make the script run on login, the problem is it needs to run as sudo, which then asks for my password, 2 seconds after I just typed the thing in to login! D: | 07:05 |
| MMKaho | codebrainz yea its not in that file | 07:05 |
| xangua | are you using a 64 bits OS mad_dog¿ | 07:05 |
| Colonel_Panic | any ideas? | 07:05 |
| chelz | mad_dog: 64bit? | 07:05 |
| mad_dog | yes, using x64 | 07:05 |
| jook | Gwar: Oh, sorry. Guess I can't help you there, if there's no command to have the script supply the password to itself. | 07:05 |
| codebrainz | MMKaho, no idea | 07:05 |
| saboat | Okay, what on earth? My sound card isnt even found anymore, it just worked a minute ago! | 07:06 |
| xangua | mad_dog: if you are using also the 64 bits flash plugin don't expect it works in all sites | 07:06 |
| Mr_Sonoma | Colonel_Panic, sorry i'm fresh out if all your other SD cards work in linux with that reader and your new card is formatted in FAT32 | 07:06 |
| mad_dog | hulu.com is the only site that doesn't work..very frustrating. | 07:06 |
| toolbear | mad_dog: yeah, i can see them. i'm on x64. get libflashplayer.so for 64-bit (now discontinued by adobe, but still out there) and just put it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 07:07 |
| [mu]keiserr | hi, am trying to set some pcs for some pre primary school kids for my sis, any idea if there are interesting packages for kids aged 5-10 ? | 07:07 |

| Mr_Sonoma | should mount to /media | 07:08 |
| toolbear | mad_dog: ahhhh. ok. well, all i can say then is that i can't even remember the last time i had a non-trivial problem with firefox and the 64bit flash plugin | 07:08 |

| zetheroo | I seem to recall in previous version of Firefox in Ubuntu that it would remember the sites I logged into - so that next time I booted up I did not have log into everywhere again ... this no longer works for some reason unknown to me | 07:10 |

| chelz | Colonel_Panic: try formatting it fat32 in gparted | 07:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | how? | 07:12 |
| toolbear | zetheroo: i've tried turning that off on purpose -- to only a mildly significant effect. for me, firefox will remember the sites if i don't close the program before shutting down, restarting, or logging out | 07:12 |
| Colonel_Panic | it doesn't eben show up in gparted | 07:13 |
| chelz | Colonel_Panic: in the upper right list? it's not there? | 07:13 |
| Colonel_Panic | *even* | 07:13 |
| Colonel_Panic | nope | 07:13 |
| chelz | check syslog | 07:13 |
| Colonel_Panic | I don't get it | 07:13 |
| Colonel_Panic | syslog? | 07:13 |
| indus | Colonel_Panic, what are you trying to do | 07:13 |
| Colonel_Panic | mount a damn sd card | 07:14 |
| indus | Colonel_Panic, ya log out and log in again and try, works sometimes | 07:14 |
| toolbear | trupheenix_: um, how many times have you tried this? i had an hp laptop with the same kind of button. i could turn the thing off during an ubuntu session, but it wouldn't turn back on, and i'd have to restart the computer to "activate" the wifi again | 07:14 |
| Colonel_Panic | I've tried restarting | 07:14 |
| zetheroo | toolbear: well yes, if I shut down and leave Firefox open then next time I boot up and open FF it will start from where I left it ... Except (and this is very annoying) anything I was signed into I will have re-login. | 07:14 |
| Colonel_Panic | THAT didn't work... | 07:14 |
| indus | Colonel_Panic, check dmesg | tail | 07:14 |
| indus | Colonel_Panic, lsusb etcc | 07:15 |
| trupheenix_ | toolbear: i tried it just now. this wasn't a problem on older versions of Ubuntu. i think it's not loading the module for some reason. how would i manually load the module? my driver is iwl3945 | 07:15 |
| zetheroo | toolbear: previously it would leave me logged into the sites unless I logged out of them. | 07:15 |
| andy112233 | Any idea/instruction? | 07:15 |
| toolbear | zetheroo: really? wow, i've actually never seen that before, even on windows -- but then again i typically logout of sites out of habit anyways | 07:16 |
| jook | What's this casper business? http://imgur.com/fKfH3.png | 07:16 |
| andy112233 | Sorry for reposting: Hi there, since yesterday, booting 10.04 takes appx. thrice the time it used to. (Desktop stays blank for quite some time before menus appear). Even afterwards, launching progs takes MUCH longer than before. Can I pastebin some logs to see what might be the problem? Thanks, Andy | 07:16 |
| indus | jook, what casper | 07:17 |
| indus | jook, casper is the thing which does al the mounting stuff etf for live cd | 07:17 |
| jook | indus: This here http://imgur.com/fKfH3.png | 07:17 |
| Colonel_Panic | dmesg|tail: http://pastebin.ca/1888255 | 07:18 |
| zetheroo | toolbear: well I explicitly recall remaining logged into my Google account after a reboot ... unless I manually logged out of my Google account | 07:18 |
| toolbear | trupheenix_: i guess you'd try using modprobe -- to load a module. you can find out which modules are loaded with "lsmod", and probably iwconfig or ifconfig or dmesg can give you a better idea of whether or not the wifi card is recognized at all | 07:18 |
| trupheenix_ | toolbear: i think the module doesn't get loaded or something. otherwise the light would have turned on by itself. | 07:18 |
| Colonel_Panic | lsusb doesn't show it | 07:18 |
| jook | indus: What should I ought to do with that, then? I don't know what persistence is about either. Since it's optional, should I just say none? | 07:18 |
| indus | jook, so casper is the live cd thing which helps run stuff | 07:18 |
| toolbear | zetheroo: oh, i believe you. it's just something that i wouldn't have ever taken note of, i guess | 07:18 |
| indus | jook, persistence means, any files saved during live session will remain on reboot | 07:19 |
| zetheroo | toolbear: yeah ... ok | 07:19 |
| indus | jook, otherwise in live environment, its not the case | 07:19 |
| DaHopi | Why does ubuntu.com say on there download-page "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage"? I have a Core2Quad ith 8gb RAM - why not use 64 bit linux? | 07:19 |
| jook | indus: Oh, okay. I don't care about that then. I don't plan to stay in live mode. Just gonna install from the drive. Thanks. | 07:19 |
| indus | jook, previously there was live cd so we couldnt save stuff anyway, except on hard disk , but now you can save stuff to the usb device | 07:19 |
| toolbear | trupheenix_: well, do you see any relevant modules after typing in 'lsmod'? | 07:19 |

| ubutom_ | Type-O, usually the fan is temperature controlled anyway and should be already running at 100% if it is really hot, laptops can get very, very hot, would place it on something that absorbs the heat a bit | 08:04 |

| ubutom_ | Type-O, if it is really overheating, it would freeze or go off or melt ;) | 08:09 |

| ubufool | the wires in the motherboard get hott too | 08:11 |
| Type-O | ubufool, basic deduction tells you if the fans turn on in windows 7 and doesn't overheat that it1s a software problem | 08:11 |
| ubufool | some air flow will keep it cool why is the fan stopped? | 08:11 |

| ubufool | when there is no airflow..and no liquid cooling.. the slightest cpu intructions cuase it too heat up.. | 08:14 |

| Type-O | that's all I'm asking | 08:15 |
| ubutom_ | Type-O, you didn't say that it doesn'T overheat with windows 7, could be an acpi bug then | 08:15 |
| ubufool | type i was under the impression that heating was your issue | 08:15 |
| ubufool | and cooling | 08:15 |
| Type-O | ... | 08:15 |
| Guest165146851 | Is it a good idea to copy all the ~/.* folders (i.e. the config folders) from my old install to my new install? | 08:15 |
| ubufool | it's sounds like you have a solution tho | 08:16 |
| ubutom_ | Guest165146851, usually yes | 08:16 |
| Guest165146851 | ubutom_: ok thanks | 08:16 |
| Guest165146851 | ubutom_: It's a fresh install so I can't imagine there being settings conflicts, considering this install has only defaults | 08:16 |

| Guest165146851 | Oh wait | 08:17 |
| Guest165146851 | ok thanks | 08:17 |
| ubutom_ | Guest165146851, but I just copy the ones with useful data, like the thunderbird and firefox profiles and so on, other config files could mess up the appearance of gnome and so on | 08:17 |

| bigleon | Hey folks looking for someone possibly experinced with installing Win 7 and Ubuntu on the same machine... I did a dual boot set up... unfotunately with no swap file and i've come across a slew of erros and i ponder if it's fault of OS install or missing swap file... | 08:18 |
| fincan | hello, I have a problem with Cpu frequency monitor, I am core2duo 6300@2,7 user and I cant change CPU0's speed from 2,7 to 3,15 but there is no problem for CPU1. what should I do? | 08:18 |
| loewi | Type-O: the gnome CPU scaling monitor allows to set power options. For my CPU, the setting "Performance" lets the fans run at max speed all the time. Depends on vendor I assume. | 08:18 |
| bigleon | Initally one problem is when logging in (with correct video drivers) My password bar doesn't appear, secondly i took nearly 15 minutes to install Quassel on ubuntu which seems a bit excessive... | 08:19 |
| ubutom_ | Guest165146851, have the solution | 08:19 |
| Type-O | loewi, that might work | 08:19 |
| ubufool | 100% fan is often not needed and wears them out quickly.. | 08:19 |
| qwiksilver711 | if i'm going to partition a 500gb drive, and use windows for all my gaming, and ubuntu for pretty much everything else, is around 100gb good enough for ubuntu partition do you think? (yes, I do have like 400 gb of games) | 08:19 |
| Guest165146851 | qwiksilver711: definitely | 08:20 |
| loewi | Type-O: be careful: downside is, that the CPU runs on max performance as well... | 08:20 |
| ubufool | yea | 08:20 |
| Guest165146851 | qwiksilver711: the Ubuntu install itself prolly won't go over 10 GB, and that's if you install everything and the kitchen sink | 08:20 |
| fincan | loewi: I have the similiar problem :) | 08:20 |
| ubufool | ubuntu is nice with it's plug and playness..you could always add more later | 08:20 |
| qwiksilver711 | ok, next question, i have a laptop that has a switchable graphics card, and i find that ubuntu (using it the wubi way right now) is using the nvidia card, and I would prefer it not to, for battery life reasons, how do i make it not use my good card | 08:21 |
| ubufool | alt 10.4 said it was like 600mb?? | 08:21 |
| ubutom_ | Guest165146851, sudo usermod -l JOhn Doe John Doe should rename your user, the home dir has to be changed accordingly by hand | 08:21 |
| Guest165146851 | ubutom_: the home dir is fine, it's insensitive to capitalization | 08:21 |
| ubufool | you can turn it off and on right? | 08:21 |
| Guest165146851 | it's just /home/john either way | 08:22 |
| ubufool | ty guest | 08:22 |
| qwiksilver711 | i can turn if off and on in windows | 08:22 |
| ubufool | thats good to know -.- | 08:22 |
| qwiksilver711 | but not in ubuntu | 08:22 |
| ubufool | right enable disable.. | 08:22 |
| ubufool | have you looked for a device manager? | 08:22 |
| ubutom_ | Guest165146851, ok, tried that command, didn't function as I intened, anyways, man usermod should be good place to look :) | 08:22 |
| Guest165146851 | ubutom_: that doesn't do what I want | 08:22 |
| Guest165146851 | ubutom_: thanks | 08:23 |
| Guest165146851 | anyway | 08:23 |

| Guest165146851 | prince_jammys: that makes sense | 08:23 |

| Guest165146851 | prince_jammys, ubutom_ it would be helpful if I were just to know what this name is called | 08:26 |
| prince_jammys | Guest165146851: the 'comment' field, or gecos | 08:27 |
| prince_jammys | Guest165146851: i believe you can replace it with usermod -c | 08:27 |
| Guest165146851 | prince_jammys: thanks. The manpage redirected me to the chfn command for this purpose; it seems that it will do exactly what I want | 08:28 |
| ubutom_ | Hm, I'm kinda lost with usermod, tried to rename myself, but it keeps saying the user doesn't exist when I want to rename my user account, maybe it is used in combination with useradd? | 08:28 |

| prince_jammys | neure: hm, then my guess was wrong, since you seem to be writing files to / | 08:49 |
| arunkumar413 | tulimaq: when i click on cross button the download is not stopping | 08:49 |
| neure | prince_jammys, no the files go to /home/user/src/ | 08:50 |
| prince_jammys | neure: ah. | 08:51 |
| tulimaq | arunkumar413: downloading what ? | 08:51 |
| arunkumar413 | tulimaq: a package | 08:52 |
| R3cur51v3 | Awesome, thanks again prince_jammys . I was that one Guest 165198166 | 08:54 |

| arunkumar413 | tulimaq: plz help me kill the download.it is a very big download.Eating my bandwidth | 08:57 |
| dmg | oh fuc** | 08:57 |
| dmg | thanks, I'm off today ;0 | 08:57 |
| vu1kan | np, just trying to help | 08:57 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, what happend? | 09:00 |
| tulimaq | arunkumar413: is it in a console window ? | 09:01 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: cant stop a package download | 09:01 |
| Beelsebob | How does one specify a proxy which requires a username/password, and the username contains an @ character? | 09:02 |
| vu1kan | i would guess that you'd use quotes | 09:02 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, add a force quit icon on panel. then click on that icon and then single click on window of your download | 09:02 |
| R3cur51v3 | arunkumar413, to do so create a new custom launcher called "Xkill" with command "xkill" | 09:03 |
| sebar25 | join #ppa | 09:03 |
| uLinux | :) | 09:03 |
| tulimaq | arunkumar413: or run xkill command in a terminal window and click window u want to close | 09:04 |
| sebar25 | server irc.freenode.net | 09:04 |
| somethinginteres | can someone give me a hand compiling mplayer from source it isn't detecting codecs like xvid and x264 despite them being installed | 09:04 |
| R3cur51v3 | arunkumar413, I recommend using the icon /usr/share/icons/Humanity/actions/48/stop.svg | 09:04 |
| abhi_nav | sebar25, use forward slash e.g. /join or /server etc | 09:04 |
| R3cur51v3 | arunkumar413, I have the exact same thing setup on my panel | 09:05 |
| Oli``` | Is there a way to get gwibber to show an icon in the old Notification Area? | 09:05 |
| arunkumar413 | R3cur51v3: thanks | 09:05 |
| R3cur51v3 | arunkumar413, for a one-time thing you can just do Alt-F2 and then type xkill as tulimaq suggested | 09:06 |
| R3cur51v3 | but I find a reusable launcher is useful when you have frequent freezes | 09:06 |
| arunkumar413 | tulimaq: ok,now installed aptoncd in 10.4. | 09:07 |

| ubufool | was this setup as part of a service or are you familiar with the network? | 09:24 |
| ben__ | do I need to create a new wireless network? | 09:24 |
| ben__ | Orange customer service doesn't support Linux :( | 09:24 |
| ubufool | no? it's usually already there and named.. but i'm not familiar with livebox | 09:24 |
| ben__ | try a restart? | 09:25 |
| ubufool | have you used a wifi ennabled linux install in this network before? | 09:25 |
| ben__ | yes, just changed service provider | 09:25 |
| ben__ | now not recognising new hub | 09:26 |

| ubufool | hmm could i still seed the other one i d/led or multiples of the same file? | 09:48 |

| twobee | Good Morning, I would like to ask if it's possible to safely 'upgrade' an Ubuntu 32bit to an Ubuntu 64bit Version. It's 9.10. | 10:01 |
| Vovk | so - fun times. any one of you 1425 people out there play NWN? If so, would you happen to know a good nwscript irc channel which isn't neverwinterconnections? | 10:01 |
| Krow_ | i live in réunion island so there is not really good internet here | 10:01 |
| gentooxer | Chousuke: Do you mean mibibit? | 10:01 |
| Chousuke | ubufool: do you have cache close to you or which ISP offers a connection that fast? | 10:02 |
| Slart | twobee: nope.. not possible.. | 10:02 |
| Vovk | twobee - bad idea | 10:02 |
| Chousuke | gentooxer: that would be mib | 10:02 |
| ubufool | XD | 10:02 |
| Slart | twobee: at least not supported.. I can't really say if it's impossible or not.. | 10:02 |
| cousin_mario | hello | 10:02 |
| ubufool | or megabit.. | 10:02 |
| MACscr | if iptables isnt in /etc/init.d/, it shouldnt be loading on boot. Correct? | 10:02 |
| cousin_mario | any word on when the packaged mplayer will be brought up to date? I need vdpau. | 10:02 |
| gentooxer | Chousuke: There's no such thing like millibit ... | 10:03 |
| Slart | twobee: you would have to download *all* the packages again anyways.. so you might as well do a new install | 10:03 |
| Chousuke | gentooxer: sure there is. | 10:03 |
| twobee | Slart: Thank you. | 10:03 |
| Chousuke | gentooxer: if you get 1 mb/s it means you get 1b/1000s | 10:03 |
| Vovk | lol | 10:03 |
| gentooxer | Chousuke: Do you have a computer platform of your own? | 10:03 |
| ubufool | cho..cahce?? it's comcast.. 6mb constant 20mb media boost.. i'm not sopposed to be getting theese speeds..i have 3 nics and one wifi same source/router/ip | 10:03 |
| Vovk | could walk the data over faster than that | 10:03 |
| Chousuke | ubufool: oh, so you meant Mb and not MB? :/ | 10:04 |
| gentooxer | Chousuke: That means you get 1024 Bit per secound | 10:04 |
| ubufool | mega byte not mega bit.. | 10:04 |
| ubufool | 12,000kilobytes is 12 megabytes | 10:04 |
| Chousuke | ubufool: if you get 25MB/s then it'd mean you have a 300Mbps connection or something which is rather impressive :P | 10:05 |
| Chousuke | gentooxer: huh? :P | 10:05 |
| ubufool | cho..yea untill they figure out i hit their 300gb cap in less then 12 hrs..but so far it hasn't been an issue..i move 300gb+ within 24hrs usually on a good day | 10:06 |
| Chousuke | gentooxer: 1b/1000s means 1 bit per thousand seconds. | 10:06 |
| gentooxer | Chousuke: A bit is a bit | 10:06 |
| Chousuke | gentooxer: yes, and a millibit is a millibit | 10:06 |
| gentooxer | Chousuke: you can't divide one bit | 10:06 |
| ubufool | i don't think the usa,va customers have a cap... | 10:06 |
| ikonia | guys, you may want to take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:07 |
| Chousuke | gentooxer: it doesn't actually have to exist for it to be mathematically usable. | 10:07 |
| ubufool | yea you can divide bits hehe | 10:07 |
| gentooxer | Chousuke: its Bullshit you know | 10:07 |
| ubufool | cellphones divide bits xD | 10:07 |
| ikonia | gentooxer: stop that language | 10:07 |
| cousin_mario | ubufool: how? | 10:07 |
| gentooxer | sorry | 10:07 |
| Chousuke | gentooxer:eh, it's basic maths. ;P | 10:07 |
| ikonia | guys - please take this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:07 |
| Vovk | ikonia: the only problem is that we're not really interrupting other people | 10:08 |
| Chousuke | but yeah, no use talking about it here | 10:08 |
| gentooxer | Chousuke: so then divide an integer | 10:08 |
| Vovk | if you take it to offtopic then the chanel will be dead :( | 10:08 |
| ikonia | Vovk: that doesn't change anything, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:08 |
| Chousuke | gentooxer: sure. 1 divided by 2 is 1/2; or 0.5 | 10:08 |
| ubufool | cousin_ it's part of the scramble and decodeing /encodeing that happens as part fo their communication..some bits are lost | 10:08 |
| === aux is now known as conradsteink | ||
| Slart | Vovk: sure you are.. I'm to confused by all these numbers and units to even think of asking my own question =) | 10:08 |

| Vovk | O.o sure thing. i'll take that stick too... might wanna bleach it first | 10:08 |

| Vovk | lol Slart ask away! | 10:08 |
| ubufool | it's problem solving? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | ubufool: the channel is ubuntu support, take the offtopic broadband/network discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic please. | 10:09 |
| ubufool | and we ar answering many questions i've previously asked for help with hours ago.. | 10:09 |
| cousin_mario | ubufool: losing bits doesn't mean dividing them..you are probably referring to encoding | 10:09 |
| Vovk | this is really bothering you isn't it... if we all go to off topic then we won't be here to answer real questions O.o | 10:09 |
| cousin_mario | like PCM | 10:09 |
| Vovk | too much order can be harmful to the community | 10:09 |
| ikonia | ubufool: how many questions you answer doesn't allow you to take the channel offtopic, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:09 |
| Slart | ubufool: once an op asks you to stop it's wise to take the advice.. | 10:09 |
| ikonia | this is the last time I'll ask | 10:10 |
| ubufool | i have stopped!! | 10:10 |
| ubufool | =c | 10:10 |

| Chousuke | conradsteink: eep, that's not a fun problem. :/ too bad I have no idea what ubuntu's home encryption thing does. | 10:11 |
| Slart | selinuxium: someone had problems accessing it yesterday.. it might be having a bad week or something | 10:12 |

| Vovk | selinuxium - you can do sudo apt-get-repository now? just tried it and got command not found O.o | 10:13 |
| ikonia | ubufool: this is your final warning - please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss it | 10:13 |

| Vovk | aah right | 10:13 |
| Gryllida | How do I change default background color in links2? I try to do it in Setup > Miscellaneous, which doesn't do anything and resets to e0e0e0 after restart. | 10:13 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: yes, it isn't fun :S . I also don't know how the encryption works, the only thing i know that it uses "ecryptfs" to encrypt the folder | 10:14 |

| Chousuke | conradsteink: that would be useful in seeing what error you get | 10:14 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: also, "dmesg" will give you the kernel log, which might contain something about the mount failure. | 10:15 |

| Vovk | O.o you do not own that encrypted directory | 10:20 |
| Vovk | ct529, hmm... you should not have the key mounted | 10:21 |
| Vovk | ct529, how many hard drives have you got? the removable key should be the next one down in the /dev/sd<something> list | 10:21 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: looks like a permission problem but I can't see anything obviously wrong. | 10:21 |
| ct529 | Vovk should I umount it? | 10:21 |
| Chousuke | yes. | 10:21 |
| Vovk | ct529, yeah, you shouldn't format a mounted drive | 10:22 |

| Vovk | ct529, a mounted volume is like a book in your hand. umounting it puts it back on the shelf | 10:23 |
| Vovk | ct529, and once it's on the shelf the little format fairies can get to work :3 | 10:23 |

| Vovk | ct529, bizzare | 10:24 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: maybe the .encryptfs dir tree has the wrong permissions, even though the symlink doesn't. | 10:24 |
| Vovk | which device is it ct529? /dev/sd____? | 10:24 |
| MonkeyMan | so dual screen how do i begin | 10:24 |

| Chousuke | conradsteink: that looks correct. hmm | 10:25 |
| michael_ | I add -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport portnumber -j ACCEPT | 10:25 |

| Vovk | ct529, hello? | 10:26 |
| michael_ | is that enough ? | 10:26 |

| skramer_ | how do I get my old Wacom ArtPad II to work with Lucid? | 10:29 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: ls is still printing files ... | 10:29 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: okay, so it's pretty big :P | 10:29 |
| Chousuke | hm | 10:29 |
| skramer_ | it's a serial gaphics tablet which used to work with prevouse releases of Ubuntu | 10:29 |
| skramer_ | but now I can not use it after upgrade to 10.04 | 10:30 |
| Vovk | btw - anyone here know NWScript? please send me a private message if you do :D | 10:30 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: anyway, my intention was to check the permissions of the .encryptfs/aux directory | 10:30 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: or mi pc pretty slow xD .. no, but a netbook | 10:30 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: and any files that might be related. | 10:30 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, it says special device does not exsist. | 10:30 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, any idea why it is not automounting? it always worked before but for some reason today it seems that it dosent want to read any of my CDs or DVDs | 10:31 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, have you checked the physical connections? does it work in a live environment, or maybe a dual booted system? | 10:31 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, this is just a symlink to sr0 on my system, but maybe it points somewhere different on yours. try /dev/cdrom | 10:32 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, /dev/dvd , /dev/dvdrw , /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw all point to the same place on my system... but i really don't know what setup you have... | 10:33 |

| rww | Vovk: oh. They get uppity when one of them gets disconnected. | 10:35 |
| Vovk | anyone know why I lose my wireless daemon every time i go into standby? it's whatever is behind wicd and network manager because both of those fail after i close my laptop's lid... | 10:35 |
| Gryllida | rww: it doesn't reset on restart now. but the baackground isn't white yet though... | 10:35 |
| Vovk | rww, fair enough | 10:35 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, it's a laptop and only has one DVD drive | 10:35 |
| abuayyoub | I looked in /dev ther eis no dvd nothing there also no cd/cdrw nothing | 10:35 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, hmm... hard to check a physical connection on a laptop - and you say /dev/dvd doesn't work? | 10:35 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: hm, there are a few files owned by root | 10:35 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, i am running x64 sony laptop with lucid | 10:35 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: in the .Private dir | 10:36 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: maybe you should change them so that you own them | 10:36 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, really... do ls -lah /dev | grep -i cd | 10:36 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: ok, will try | 10:36 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, hmm... using 32 bit lucid on a dell latitude e5500 | 10:36 |
| kaki | hii world | 10:36 |

| abuayyoub | Vovk, command not found | 10:37 |
| rww | MonkeyMan: sorry. Try Monitors? | 10:37 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, like I said, yesterday everything worked find. | 10:37 |

| ABBADON | Hi, I've been having a bit of a problem with an upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04. I've had update-manager running for quite a while, yet now it seems to be frozen for some reason. The last line on the terminal display says: File "/usr/lib/python2.5/logging/__init__.py", line 753 in emit | 10:38 |
| selinuxium | hmmm... Slightly annoyed at gnome-panel having dependencies on evolution... removed all of evolution from my system and gnome-panel went to... | 10:38 |
| ABBADON | I've googled "ubuntu update-manager frozen", "ubuntu 8.04 update manager hangs" "ubuntu 10.-4 update manager hangs" and many other terms, but I can't seem to find out what's wrong with it - the System Monitor isn't listing the process either. Has anyone else here had this problem, and if so, can someone give me a nudge in the right direction as to how to continue with the upgrade? | 10:38 |
| selinuxium | s/to/too/ | 10:38 |
| selinuxium | Now the new user switcher is no longer there following the reinstall... | 10:38 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: changing with chown -R aux:aux . , hope ti changes this "uid" user too | 10:38 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: yeah, it will | 10:38 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, you put too many spaces in between ls and -lah. | 10:38 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, should be ls -lah (one space) | 10:38 |
| Vovk | actually | 10:38 |
| ubufool | how do i resize my filesystem? | 10:38 |
| Vovk | two spaces work too | 10:39 |
| abuayyoub | whoops lol | 10:39 |
| Vovk | what in hell is going on? | 10:39 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, | 10:39 |
| Vovk | unless you typed 1ah with a one | 10:39 |
| Chousuke | Vovk: spaces don't matter | 10:39 |
| erUSUL | ubufool: with gparted; form a livecd | 10:39 |
| ubufool | =c | 10:39 |
| Chousuke | Vovk: there can be a million, it'll work just fine :) | 10:39 |
| abuayyoub | vovk, what am I looking for here | 10:39 |
| Vovk | Chousuke, lol i just realized that... so why does it think that -lah is a command? | 10:39 |
| abuayyoub | i hav a couple that come up and say root cdrom | 10:39 |
| Gryllida | ubufool: "gparted" without quotes in Terminal | 10:39 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, it should say something like cdrom -> sr0 | 10:39 |
| Vovk | in a bunch of columns | 10:39 |
| Chousuke | Vovk: probably wrong input | 10:40 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: | 10:40 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: =D | 10:40 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: =DD | 10:40 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: does it work now? | 10:40 |
| Vovk | Chousuke, i just did it myself - works fine unless he's not copy/pasting | 10:40 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: yes, my files are back!!! | 10:40 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: excellent | 10:40 |
| abuayyoub | vovk, cdrom -> sr0 | 10:40 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: thx a lot, nice to meet you ;) | 10:40 |
| root1 | oh | 10:40 |
| Prabs | hi i cant able to play videos what to do | 10:40 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, I forget the ls' before lol thats why it came back as command not found lol | 10:40 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, so there IS something in your /dev directory called cdrom ;) you liar | 10:40 |
| Vovk | oh lol | 10:40 |
| abuayyoub | lol | 10:41 |
| Vovk | so | 10:41 |
| Vovk | put a cd or dvd in the drive and do this | 10:41 |
| Vovk | sudo mount -o loop /dev/cdrom /mnt | 10:41 |
| Prabs | i cant able to play videos what to do | 10:41 |
| Vovk | then look inside the /mnt directory, there should be something there | 10:41 |

| abuayyoub | hey, what does the loop command do? | 10:42 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, it worked? | 10:42 |
| abuayyoub | just currious | 10:42 |
| abuayyoub | yea, it worked | 10:42 |
| Vovk | means loop device | 10:42 |
| Vovk | makes a file accessible as a block device | 10:43 |
| Vovk | like an iso file | 10:43 |
| Chousuke | conradsteink: you're welcome | 10:43 |
| Vovk | the image of a disk is really a file - yah? | 10:43 |
| Vovk | so you need to tell mount to treat it like a filesystem | 10:43 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, i'm up and burnin thanks man. Not sure why it stopped auto mounting but seems to be working now. | 10:43 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, it's automounting now? | 10:43 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, it should have just mounted once, to /mnt. | 10:44 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, to make it automount you need to edit /etc/fstab | 10:44 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, yea, werid ah? I mounted, unmounted just to see if it would work. took the DVD out of the tray and not it's auto mounting again. WTF right? | 10:44 |
| conradsteink | Chousuke: bye, i will login now with my user who owns the recovered encrypted folder :D | 10:44 |
| Vovk | abuayyoub, it's automounting again... bizzare... | 10:44 |
| conradsteink | bye all! | 10:44 |
| abuayyoub | Vovk, haha maybe i put the DVD in upside down in a stooper or something lol | 10:45 |

| Vovk | kaki - he wasn't able to automount, but forcing it to mount into a random directory suddenly started it working again O.o | 10:49 |
| kaki | you welcome | 10:49 |

| ubottu | christmas11: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 11:01 |

| Vovk | hotfloppy, if you want something easy to use to build web sites (like dreamweaver) instead of automatic content management | 11:05 |
| Vovk | hotfloppy, you could always try Komposer | 11:05 |
| Vovk | hotfloppy, it's not as pro as dreamweaver is tho O.o | 11:06 |
| kaki | but dreamweaver need windows | 11:06 |
| hotfloppy | Vovk: nope, i want the cms things.. anyways, already installed kompozer :) | 11:06 |

| Vovk | gogu: home | 11:15 |
| kaki | gogu home is best | 11:16 |
| Vovk | gogu: if it's not too late, i would redo the install with maybe only 30-40 gb of space in / maybe 20 | 11:16 |
| Vovk | or just resize the partitions | 11:16 |
| gogu | vovk, can I resize without reinstalling? | 11:17 |
| kaki | i dont think so gogu | 11:17 |
| ikonia | gogu you'll need to do it from a livecd as your partitions will be in use by the running system | 11:17 |
| hotfloppy | gogu: yes you can, with liveCD | 11:17 |
| hotfloppy | gogu: you cant resize mounted partition | 11:18 |
| alohadoubt | hi all | 11:18 |

| kaki | i think he cant | 11:19 |
| kaki | or you will have problems | 11:19 |
| ikonia | kaki: he can, use a livecd as I've just said | 11:19 |
| kaki | or use parted magic | 11:19 |

| erUSUL | hotfloppy: it is possible; no conflicts | 11:20 |
| Vovk | hotfloppy, errm nope, no conflicts | 11:20 |
| ikonia | reactor: the server is targeted at enterprise class hardware, so lacks a few nice desktop features, but also has a few tuning features aimed at enteprise grade stuff | 11:20 |
| ikonia | reactor: what are you looking to do | 11:20 |
| Vovk | hotfloppy, by all means do it if you want lol | 11:20 |

| Kartagis | why do I get mount: special device //sss-ybf/c$ does not exist when I issue sudo mount -t vfat //sss-ybf/c$ /mnt/sss/ | 11:24 |
| Kartagis | ? | 11:24 |
| alohadoubt | what will be the solution for this... | 11:24 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: because you don't mount network devices as vfat | 11:24 |
| alohadoubt | this is odd i dont have this problem in 32bit | 11:24 |
| ikonia | alohadoubt: it's nothting to do with 64bit | 11:25 |
| Kartagis | ikonia, whether it's linux or windows? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | alohadoubt: I suggest using the mysql documentaed prodedure for recovering the password, verify it, | 11:25 |
| nikin | hy. Does Gnome obey the gtk-icon sizes set in themes? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | Kartagis: either way, you don't mount network file systems as vfat, it has to be a network file system such as nfs/samba/cifs | 11:25 |
| alohadoubt | honestly im using ubuntu 6 on 32bit and this is the first time i've installed mysql5 on xen 64bit with ubuntu 9.04 | 11:25 |
| reactor | how do I mount a disk as additional space for /home not displaying it at my desktop? | 11:25 |
| ikonia | alohadoubt: I don't doubt what you're telling me | 11:26 |
| alohadoubt | even if i reinstall this and use 123456 as password still same problem' | 11:26 |
| ikonia | reactor: you don't mount it as additional space, you either mount it under /home, or you resize home to include that space | 11:26 |
| kaki | bye world and thank you ikonia | 11:26 |
| reactor | ikonia: I mean I have two partitions on different drives | 11:26 |
| erUSUL | reactor: mount it in /mnt/ and then either link it somewhere in home or mount --bind it | 11:26 |
| vuk | connect sexchat | 11:27 |
| ikonia | reactor: ok - so you'd have to mount your second driver as a directory under /home | 11:27 |
| alohadoubt | i'vebeen searching few hours ago but still didn't find solution | 11:27 |
| reactor | ikonia: both drives to /home? | 11:27 |
| ikonia | reactor: you can't do that as I've said | 11:27 |
| reactor | erUSUL: hmm but I think I'll still see it | 11:27 |
| ikonia | reactor: you'd have to mount the second driver a directory under /home | 11:27 |
| reactor | ok | 11:27 |
| ikonia | alohadoubt: look up mysql recovery options to get your root password right, and verify it | 11:27 |
| sphex | hey. is it OK that in /proc/meminfo, the MemFree + Cached + Active + Inactive fields only amount to about half my RAM? | 11:27 |
| erUSUL | reactor: if it is mounted in /mnt/ it will no show up afaics | 11:28 |
| reactor | erUSUL: roger that, I'll test | 11:28 |
| alohadoubt | i already did | 11:29 |
| alohadoubt | dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 | 11:29 |
| alohadoubt | password still wrong | 11:29 |

| e-DIO-t | raga', qualcuno mi sa spiegare come dichiarare il campo "--to-source" come natpool in una regola di SNAT? ho usato 10.0.0.128-0.0.0.255...ed i pacchetti escono come 248.113.175.70. Una netmask non è, una wildcard manco direi a 'sto punto. Qualche idea? | 11:51 |
| ankout | snd-hda-intel is in use => any idea to kill it? | 11:51 |
| e-DIO-t | doh sorry, wrong chan | 11:51 |
| e-DIO-t | i meant: does anyone know which is the right way to declare the "--to-source" field as natpool in an iptables SNAT rule? | 11:52 |

| erebus | corey: I keep ubuntu on one drive for everything except gaming, i have a separate windows for that since activex is so proprietary | 12:12 |

| Dr_Willis | kokozedman: proberly quite a few people are using the firewalling features of linux. which is contriolled by iptables I thouight | 12:19 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: on chromium no i havent | 12:20 |
| indus | kokozedman, iptables is the ubuntu firewall | 12:20 |
| indus | !iptables | 12:20 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 12:20 |

| akkan84 | SG_WRITE_SAME....does anyone know how to use? | 12:22 |
| nesbitt | wireshark: do you have totem installed? | 12:22 |
| kokozedman | indus: actually, i thought to put it in /etc/iptables.up.rules, but i'm not sure where inside the code to put it | 12:22 |
| kokozedman | it already has similar thing | 12:22 |
| akkan84 | it keeps telling me no device | 12:22 |
| kokozedman | and i don't know how the ubuntu iptables work... i'm quite new at it | 12:22 |
| wireshark | yes nesbitt | 12:23 |
| minver | What is the root password when I run Ubuntu Live/Test from the boot cd? | 12:23 |
| soreau | ! root | 12:23 |
| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 12:23 |
| indus | kokozedman, http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch14_:_Linux_Firewalls_Using_iptables | 12:23 |
| indus | kokozedman, try taht link | 12:23 |
| nesbitt | wireshark: try opening the stream in totem | 12:24 |
| OpenSys | hello | 12:24 |
| Dr_Willis | minver: on live cd just use 'sudo' as needed. I dont think it even asks for a pssword | 12:24 |
| indus | kokozedman, or this for more precise http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch14_:_Linux_Firewalls_Using_iptables#Saving_Your_iptables_Scripts | 12:24 |

| minver | Dr_Willis: Do you have any answer to my other question? How to access files from my HD with permission denied. (Apple HD inside a PC) | 12:25 |
| akkan84 | someone message me about sg_write_same please....i need to erase the unused blocks...otherwise my poorly compiled kernel keeps taking over | 12:26 |
| nesbitt | any luck, wireshark? | 12:26 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: i don't use totem | 12:26 |
| Dr_Willis | minver: i have no idea how/if/ linux can access 'hfs' or 'hsf+' filesuystems (thats what apple uses) I dont use apples. | 12:27 |
| nesbitt | wireshark: nevertheless can you try opening that stream in totem, like you did in vlc? | 12:27 |
| Dr_Willis | minver: you can 'see' the files but cant read them? or what exactly? | 12:27 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: w8 | 12:27 |
| sinan | i have installed windows after installing ubuntu, and i can't fix grub. When running "setup (hd0)" i get "error 17: canoy mount selected partition". Any ideas? | 12:27 |
| akkan84 | how can i TRIM on 2.6.34 | 12:29 |
| minver | Dr_Willis: yeah, I can see them but not read them. It's a cross over the folder and it says permission denied | 12:30 |
| Dr_Willis | minver: no idea what 'cross over' means. the Only Apple Ive ever owned.. is a very large doorstop. | 12:31 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: i can't open it | 12:31 |
| akkan84 | i need help with TRIM on kernel 2.6.34 | 12:31 |
| nesbitt | wireshark: what happened? did it give you an error? if so what did it say? | 12:31 |
| wireshark | yes | 12:31 |
| wireshark | w8 | 12:31 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: The playback of this movie requires a Microsoft Media Server (MMS) protocol source plugin which is not installed. | 12:33 |

| Dr_Willis | wireshark: ive played some mms: streams in vlc, mplayer, and totem. I however always install ubuntu-restricted-extras and the w32codecs. normally | 12:33 |
| wireshark | Dr_Willis: i have already installed them | 12:34 |
| wireshark | w64codecs | 12:34 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: but i can open it with vlc | 12:34 |
| shomon | how do I find out in ubuntu, what is running at a given port on my computer? | 12:35 |
| Dr_Willis | wireshark: check what the actual 'mss:// url is' could be more of a site issue. then a stream issue | 12:35 |
| nesbitt | minver: when you do "ls -l" in a directory in the system you are trying to access does it have you as the owner? | 12:35 |
| jatt | you can set the root password though | 12:36 |
| wireshark | Dr_Willis: the same link is opennng on vlc | 12:36 |
| wireshark | ;) | 12:36 |
| jatt | sudo su | 12:36 |
| jatt | and then passwd | 12:36 |
| anodesni | Hi, I'm trying to connect to a printer server in my university so I can print from my laptop. But how do I find printers on this server and install drivers for it?? | 12:36 |
| minver | Dr_Willis: Oh, sorry, it's just a folder with a cross icon in the right corner :) | 12:36 |
| minver | nesbitt: no, i'm not the owner | 12:36 |
| jussi | jatt: we recommend sudo -i not sudo su | 12:36 |
| jussi | and setting root passwords is not supported in here! | 12:37 |
| nesbitt | minver: if you take ownership with chown i think that might resolve your issues, what does it have as the permissions? | 12:37 |
| minver | nesbitt: I try to changed the permission of the folder in the HD that I can't access but I get "read-only filesystem" | 12:37 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: could you help? | 12:37 |
| jatt | why not | 12:37 |
| nesbitt | wireshark: i'm not sure wireshark, do you have gstreamer plugins installed? | 12:37 |
| jussi | !noroot | 12:37 |
| ubottu | We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 12:37 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: i think so | 12:37 |
| wireshark | i am not sure | 12:38 |
| iceroot | jussi: 1. sudo su is bad, 2. change the root-passwd is possible with 1 line, 3. we dont support activation root in this channel | 12:38 |
| minver | nesbitt: It has the access-code(?) 501 | 12:38 |
| iceroot | jussi: wrong nick :( | 12:38 |
| iceroot | jatt: 1. sudo su is bad, 2. change the root-passwd is possible with 1 line, 3. we dont support activation root in this channel | 12:38 |

| liukai | is this ubuntu group | 12:38 |
| nesbitt | minver: :S like "rwx-r--r--" or something? | 12:38 |
| iceroot | Vantrax: you mean "sudo -i" | 12:39 |
| geirha | Vantrax: Use sudo -s or sudo -i instead | 12:39 |
| nesbitt | minver: i'm not good with access codes | 12:39 |

| erUSUL | shomon: which one ? | 12:39 |
| shomon | tor | 12:39 |
| shomon | :) | 12:39 |
| shomon | but in general... | 12:39 |
| nesbitt | wireshark: if you open up rhythmbox and try to play a wma file that might ask you to install plugins... i'm not really sure | 12:40 |
| shomon | I've got mysql running there too, which I don't need all the time | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | shomon: in general.. it depends on the ap you are refering to. | 12:40 |
| erUSUL | shomon: sudo update-rc.d -f tor remove | 12:40 |
| minver | nesbitt: drwx------ | 12:40 |
| liukai | who kown ylmf os | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | shomon: if its handled as a upstart service, disable it in /etc/init/ if its handled by the sysv scripts that update-rc.d command is needed | 12:40 |
| shomon | ok so erUSUL, it is sudo update-rc.d -f appname remove and I guess there should be a list command | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | liukai: thats not an offically supported buy thisn channel ubuntu variant. | 12:40 |
| liukai | my ubuntu can,t run 3D | 12:41 |
| shomon | in redhat it used to be chckconfig -list or something like that | 12:41 |
| erUSUL | shomon: ls /etc/init.d/ | 12:41 |
| soreau | liukai: Which graphics card do you have? | 12:41 |
| Dr_Willis | liukai: install the proper drivers for your viudeo card. whatver that card is. | 12:41 |
| shomon | ok thanks | 12:41 |
| erUSUL | shomon: there is also the service command | 12:41 |
| shomon | ok so man service should be my friend :) | 12:41 |
| erUSUL | shomon: i'm used to old update-rc.d invoke-rc.d etc ... | 12:41 |

| wireshark | nesbitt: it plays | 12:47 |
| liukai | the computer is complex | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: theres plenty of online guides on networking. It all depends on what youa re really focused on in your needs. | 12:47 |
| wireshark | lol i had mute it | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: if you want to go to the bookstore and buy one.. check out the ones by oreily first. | 12:48 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: how can i install the plugin? | 12:48 |
| liukai | my hard ware dosnt clear | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | liukai: you may want to be a bit more clear in your statements. | 12:49 |
| nesbitt | wireshark: i'm not sure if this is what you need, but maybe: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad | 12:50 |
| Jungli | i love ubuntu | 12:50 |
| DestinyAwaits | Dr_Willis, if a book doesn't cover every topic, fine but a book that will cover the whatever topic but its in-depth | 12:50 |
| nesbitt | minver: have any luck? | 12:50 |
| Jungli | hi bazhang | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: theres books like that.. given that you havent reallys tated teh specific topic... 'network admin' is a BIG topic. :) | 12:50 |
| minver | nesbitt: I'm trying do what u said right now, it's talking some time | 12:50 |
| wireshark | nesbitt: and this?Windows Media Player Plugin is not installed or enabled in your Browser | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: i have 3+ books just on Samba admining. :) | 12:51 |
| papcy | how do i install deb files? | 12:51 |
| nesbitt | wireshark: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | papcy: several ways.. i do 'gksudo gdebi foo.deb' these days :) | 12:51 |
| wireshark | 10.04 | 12:51 |
| DestinyAwaits | Dr_Willis, then you must have books for network administration | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | papcy: or 'sudo dpkg -i foo.deb' | 12:52 |
| papcy | 10.04 | 12:52 |
| nesbitt | minver: ah ok, it's going to change the permission of every file... so that could take a while... i wonder if there was a better way... | 12:52 |
| lefantomedlopera | Hello, How can I disable foot page only for the first page? | 12:52 |
| lefantomedlopera | I disable the case Insert->footpage-> firstpage, but it is still visible on the first page :/ | 12:52 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: i have shelfs of linux books. Network Admining is a big topic and theres books on specific aspects of admining specific services as well. | 12:52 |
| minver | nesbitt: right now it just loops through all the files with the text "chown changing permission on 'the/file/path/' : read-only file system' I wonder If that is good or bad? :) | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | lefantomedlopera: if you mean in 'OpenOffice' you may want to say so. And check the Openoffice docs/help | 12:53 |
| nesbitt | hmmm | 12:53 |
| papcy | Dr_Willis, in this case where do i place the deb file? | 12:53 |

| liukai | my ubuntu can run cs game | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: Hmm? | 12:57 |
| basncy | IdleOne, thanks | 12:57 |
| DestinyAwaits | Dr_Willis, First i want to cover the utilities that are pre-installed on linux like netstat, ifconfig, traceroute...etc but in great depth | 12:58 |
| Kruptein | indus on the bottom you can see to the left of INSRT the default language yes? | 12:58 |
| indus | Kruptein, to enable menus ets in your language you need to install the packs | 12:58 |
| nesbitt | minver: do "cat /etc/fstab" and tell me what the umask is for the drive | 12:58 |
| leven | thank you | 12:58 |
| DestinyAwaits | Dr_Willis, Any help on that | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: so? Go to book store check out ones by oriealy and see what else they got if you want a Physicsl book. | 12:58 |
| indus | Kruptein, yes that only shows you what is currently selected | 12:58 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: all mine came from bargin bin tables. :) i dont bother with 'one book to cover it all' I got lots of books. Some were $1 :) | 12:58 |
| DestinyAwaits | Dr_Willis, Ya i want a physical book | 12:58 |
| Kruptein | indus if you click on that, you have the possiblitie of finding "more" languages, but that just shows the font etc | 12:59 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: all mine are at least 5+ yrs old.. and 90% of the information is still the same.. | 12:59 |
| DestinyAwaits | :) | 12:59 |
| indus | Kruptein, iam checking it myself | 12:59 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: Orialy web site i think even has a feature where you can subscribe/buy Huge collections of their books in E-book formats | 13:00 |
| DestinyAwaits | Dr_Willis, but any specific book on these topics you know a book by name. netstat, traceroute, ifconfig...etc | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: any i have are 5+ yrs old.. check out the O'reialy books (for the 4th time) | 13:00 |
| timmillwood | Many people here switched to ubuntu from mac | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | DestinyAwaits: avoide any with 'dummies' or 'idiots' in the title. :) | 13:00 |
| indus | Kruptein, but you need to change it from tools>options >language settings | 13:00 |
| indus | Kruptein, once enabled., it can be chosen from that bottom menu i think | 13:01 |
| Kruptein | indus yes I see now, but found the "more" quite misleading | 13:01 |
| Kruptein | indus was able to install an other dictionary thanks :) | 13:01 |
| indus | Kruptein, yeah more is misleading :D | 13:01 |

| ubottu | To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ndlovu: perhaps it got removed and you can add it with the add panel applets stuff.. | 13:03 |

| adebaba | can we please talk | 13:10 |
| meklee | Dr_Willis: so all i need to know is if the ntfs is included as a primary partition or ignored as a non linux ???? | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | drizzt_: Hmm. do you even have any other stuff going on? panels? clock? | 13:10 |
| isolat3dsh33p | hello, how do you sold no_pubkey problem? | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | adebaba: ask your questions in the channel. | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | meklee: its a PARTITION.. so YES... | 13:11 |
| adebaba | ok | 13:11 |
| drizzt_ | Dr_Willis, i have gnome panels and gnome desktop | 13:11 |
| adebaba | thanks | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | meklee: if it was bubbosFilesystem it would count.. if it was not even formated it would coung... | 13:11 |
| meklee | ok so the ntfs is the first primary one right. | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | meklee: thats normally how its done. | 13:11 |
| meklee | Dr_Willis: ok what about the bootloader. does that need its own partition | 13:12 |
| drizzt_ | meklee, your active partition should be ntfs, fat or fat32 | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | meklee: my disk layout --> (primary)(primary)(primary)(extended <logical> <logical> <logical>) | 13:12 |
| liukai | my bootloader is grub | 13:12 |
| meklee | Dr_Willis: i got that | 13:12 |
| nesbitt | minver: ok, when you enter what i said into the terminal ("cat /etc/fstab") it will output several lines, each one that doesn't start with a '#' will have UUID=something /mount_location filesystem blah blah. try to work out which is the one you are accessing by the location and the filesystem and then towards the end find where it says umask=something and let me know what that something is :) | 13:12 |

| adebaba | i want to switch from windows os to linux os, but my fear is that most of the apps am using are window based, take for example, printer driver, scanner, cafe billing software they are all window based | 13:13 |
| artnay | there's nothing /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf nor gconf-editor | 13:13 |
| meklee | Dr_Willis: now i need to know about this do i need a partition for grub. so vista will be recognised | 13:13 |
| nesbitt | adebaba: try dual running off the live cd or dual booting, you might be surprised at how easily it all works, if you don't like it, boot back into windows :) | 13:14 |
| drizzt_ | adebaba, you use OS to use your hardware, remember that | 13:14 |

| meklee | Dr_Willis: really then y does say ubuntu need a /boot/grub directory if its in the mbr as in a usb flash | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | meklee: it DOES need a /boot/grub dirctory - thats on the linux partiton. thats where it gets its config and other files from.. the MBR is the actual bit of the hd that gets loaded first to 'boot' it then reads the files from /boot/grub/ as needed | 13:18 |

| BluesKaj | drizzt_, open system monitor and kill xchat | 13:18 |
| indus | this should be rephrased | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | BluesKaj: guess he did that. :) | 13:18 |
| meklee | dthanks Dr_Willis cleared up some confusion. so i should not nttd a seperate partition fot grub then should i | 13:19 |
| BluesKaj | Dr_Willis, yup :) | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | meklee: grub files are normally stored in the /boot dir which is on the linux partition. Or make a seperate /boot/ partitiion | 13:19 |
| ne7work | how to add any cd in my sources.list? | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | dosent synaptic have a button to add a cd as a source? | 13:20 |

| drizzt_ | ok I managed to run metacity, but should I do that manually each time?! | 13:21 |
| ne7work | Dr_Willis i need to do this manually in sources.list? | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | drizzt_: you should figure out why your window manager is crashing | 13:21 |
| ne7work | can you help me please | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | or uncomment the cdrom in the sources.list, ne7work | 13:21 |
| Dr_Willis | ne7work: check the apt docs i guess.. or use the example line in the file as an.. err.. example | 13:22 |
| ne7work | Dr_Willis can i use this deb http://10.0.0.1/cd1/ stable main contrib ? | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | ne7work: no idea.. looks like you are not using a cd.. you as just using the files from a cd.. thats not quite the same thing | 13:23 |

| Helsinkiii | anyone have tips on how to speed up my wifi , im running 9.1 | 13:54 |
| Helsinkiii | connection is always at 33 or 41% | 13:54 |
| Dr_Willis | indus: aparently theres some oddity with how ffmpeg works, and the lubrary versioning for ffmpeg with vlc. If you got vlc + ffmpeg for that hardware accel working.. it would break other apps that use the ffmpeg libs.. or somtning like that. | 13:54 |
| Helsinkiii | and all browsers are slow | 13:54 |
| indus | yea reading it | 13:55 |
| gfxstyler | im running lucid lynx and the network manager applet always shows that im not connected to a wireless network even though i am | 13:55 |

| indus | Slart, with the new ati 10.6 drivers , phenomenal change | 13:55 |
| ironreaper | Can someone help me with formatting my hard drive using ubuntu? | 13:56 |
| indus | Slart, maximise and minimise windows was a huge issue with the proprietary driver ,compiz on or off, its been fixed now | 13:56 |
| gfxstyler | ironreaper, i think gparted can do that | 13:56 |
| Slart | indus: that sounds promising.. and you can underclock it and such when you don't need the power? | 13:56 |
| coolstacy | i am new to ubuntu and really fed up of installing ubuntu and then again installing updates?Can i clone my ubuntu partion drive or can i save the updates and just pate them to repscted folder after reinstalling ubuntu.Plz help. | 13:56 |
| BluesKaj | Helsinkiii, to increase wifi signal strength, you might need a booster, altho it really doesn't affect your surfspeed | 13:57 |
| indus | Slart,hmm underclock has to be with the command line tool ati overdrive | 13:57 |
| ironreaper | All i need to do is format the whole drive to NFTS, with no partitions | 13:57 |
| Helsinkiii | BluesKaj: then why is my browsing so much slower here than on a windows machine | 13:57 |
| indus | Slart, gui in linux dont provide it, overclock yes, dont know about underclock | 13:57 |
| Helsinkiii | also with wifi | 13:57 |
| indus | Slart, but, i think the graphics card anyway undervolts to save power, its in hardware | 13:57 |
| indus | Slart, both nvidia or ati i belive | 13:58 |
| Slart | indus: hmm.. I've got a small script running in crontab for my nvidia card to downclock it in linux.. I don't really need the power | 13:58 |
| indus | Slart, but not sure, one thing i know is , the open source driver doesnt do it yet for ATI | 13:58 |

| chris_n | can anyone point me toward good documentation/tutorial on setting up Ubuntu (both desktop and server) for a corporate type network? | 13:58 |
| indus | Slart, so if saving power, use the proprietary driver/ | 13:58 |
| gfxstyler | nvidia cards downclock automatically (according to the nvidia settings tool) | 13:59 |
| Helsinkiii | BluesKaj: i'm thinking of using Windows for this solw purpose. browsing has become a horrible experience for me | 13:59 |
| indus | i think all cards do that | 13:59 |
| Slart | gfxstyler: mine doesn't.. but it's an 8800gtx.. perhaps it's too old | 13:59 |
| BluesKaj | Helsinkiii, which browser? | 13:59 |
| gfxstyler | Slart, do you use the proprietary nvidia driver? | 13:59 |
| Helsinkiii | BluesKaj: all. right now Galeon is the fastest | 13:59 |
| Slart | gfxstyler: yup | 13:59 |
| Helsinkiii | or least slow | 13:59 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, just wait i have a link for you | 13:59 |
| indus | anyways nvidia has that nv clock utilityu to do those things | 14:00 |

| ironreaper | Gparted seems a little over my head, Can using the disk utility also work. I choose Format drive and am not sure what to choose. | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | Helsinkiii, have you tried chromium-browser ? | 14:00 |
| gfxstyler | Slart, if i open up the nvidia settings utility (System->Administration->Nvidia bla) there is a section called "PowerMizer" ... it displays the current clock and some powersaving settings | 14:00 |
| indus | Slart, but for ATI its command line as far as i know, someone is probably doing a gui app | 14:01 |

| csaba | if I know a machine's MAC address, then how can I connect to it with ssh? | 14:15 |
| funkyweasel | (And on a side note - thanks for the help yesterday on helping me upgrade from karmic->lucid using a local repo, then 'topping up' with network updates.) | 14:15 |
| erUSUL | csaba: you need the ip | 14:15 |
| csaba | erUSUL: how to get the ip from the MAC address? | 14:15 |
| Slart | csaba: I think you need the ip-number.. I think there is a tool to get that though | 14:15 |
| coolstacy | ubottu,abhi_nav :where do i get it from? | 14:16 |
| ubottu | Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 14:16 |
| indus | Dr_Willis, hmm i had one cpu die once, it happens | 14:16 |
| indus | Dr_Willis, i never overclock etc | 14:16 |
| indus | but anyways, its true due to design Dr_Willis | 14:16 |
| arunkumar413 | here is the link of the video i created using the recordmydesktop application. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc89xgBxIkU | 14:16 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, you can type sudo apt-get install aptoncd or you can to go ubuntu software center and search aptoncd and install | 14:16 |
| zio | running ubuntu 10.04 is there a quick way to change dns? | 14:16 |
| erUSUL | csaba: if it is in a lan you may get it from the arp cache | 14:16 |
| indus | Dr_Willis, a cpu is all etched circuits but a gpu has many things in it, its mostly the ram etc which dies | 14:17 |
| erUSUL | csaba: run « arp » in a terminal | 14:17 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav :let me go to terminal and try it . | 14:17 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, note that aptoncd is not perfect backup solution. it only backup installed apps | 14:17 |
| csaba | ok thanks erUSUL | 14:17 |
| overmacht | hey Bill Gates, i love you. | 14:18 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, using aptoncd then another computer it only resotores archieve and then user again have to install each aps manualy. aptoncd dont do anything automatically. | 14:18 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: hi | 14:19 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, hi :) | 14:19 |
| arunkumar413 | i have a problem recording desktop and playing it on youtube | 14:19 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav:so what would u suggest, i just want something like Norton ghost in Windows, i should not require to install all updates(about300MB) again. | 14:20 |
| nicofs | can i use multiple connections for my internet connection i.e. combine LAN and WLAN to maximize my bandwith? Can I do "connection hot-swapping": change from WLAN to UMTS without being offline in between (currently i have to restart firefox, pidgin, etc. after changing connection)? | 14:20 |
| meklee | hi i cant play flash media in webbrowser. whats teh plugin in synaptic called i cant find it | 14:20 |
| gentooxer | nicofs: i guess not | 14:20 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: i have a problem recording desktop and playing it on youtube | 14:20 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, try this: istanbul desktop session recorder | 14:20 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, ^^ | 14:20 |
| gentooxer | nicofs: you mess up the routing if you have mor than 1 way in the internet | 14:21 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, I dont know the exact solution. but search on google for any paid software. I dont know about any free such software. may be it is there. not sure. | 14:21 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, i never needed such software. so i dont know much about it. | 14:21 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: i used the recordmydesktop and uploaded the video to the youtube.THis is how it plays in youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc89xgBxIkU | 14:21 |
| IdleOne | meklee: flashplugin-installer | 14:21 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, i am installing aps. i cant view your link right now. but what the actual problem? try istanbul. | 14:22 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav:what do u use to backup,do u again update ur ubuntu. | 14:22 |
| nicofs | getooxer: there should be a tool to distribute traffic.... that manages physical connections and emulates one connection for the operating system... | 14:22 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, i only back music, docs, video and software setup. but i dont thsi manual copy paste. so i dont need backup software. | 14:23 |
| IdleOne | meklee: you may need to go to System > Administration > Software Sources and enabled the Partner repository | 14:23 |
| meklee | IdleOne: that is not there i am in 9.10 | 14:23 |
| Beyecixramd | is there a bruteforce cracker for zips, rars, and, if available, tars? | 14:23 |
| funkyweasel | Oh, excellent - I've worked out how to add panels to the secondary monitor. But is there a way of sharing desktop panels between monitors (whilst obviously maintaining them as seperate displays)? | 14:23 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, *but i do this manualy* | 14:23 |
| jmkgreen | Anyone here got amavisd-new working with SPF checking? I can see it getting loaded in mail.info but there's no evidence that checking is being performed | 14:23 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: istanbul also generates the same format video | 14:23 |
| abhi_nav | !details | arunkumar413 | 14:24 |
| gentooxer | nicofs: yea its called a router | 14:24 |
| ubottu | arunkumar413: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 14:24 |
| Slart | Beyecixramd: have you looked at cracklib.. I think it's available in the repos | 14:24 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, you want to convert it to another format? | 14:24 |
| nicofs | genttoxer: but that router is not inside my latop... | 14:24 |
| Beyecixramd | Slart: is that a library or a program? | 14:24 |
| nicofs | gentooxer: sry for typo | 14:25 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: no, i want to know why is youtube not rendering the the ogg theora format well | 14:25 |
| gentooxer | nicofs: thats right, ist a appliance kind of thing | 14:25 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav:does this work,and if yes where are the updates located so i can copy it to stick and when needed just paste it,to their locations. | 14:25 |
| LaMs | Hi all, I'm seeking advice to replace my current HTPC (build with an old AMD athlon 2400+) and I would like something with a good WAF (Wife Appeal Factor) but powerful enough for Stepmania in multiplayer, FoFix in multiplayer, game console emulator and music + HD video. Does a Acer Revo able to handle this ? | 14:25 |
| Slart | Beyecixramd: I think it's a library but I also think there are some command line tools included | 14:25 |
| Beyecixramd | Slart: thanks :) | 14:25 |
| IdleOne | LaMs: ##hardware perhaps | 14:25 |
| Slart | Beyecixramd: you're welcome | 14:25 |
| meklee | IdleOne: whats the terminal sudo apt-get install ............... | 14:25 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav:sorry the first word is "does" | 14:25 |
| lubu2 | #ubuntu | 14:26 |
| IdleOne | meklee: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 14:26 |
| gentooxer | nicofs: I don't know about a tool that makes connection switchin transparrent for your ubuntu, sorry | 14:26 |
| LaMs | IdleOne: Well I want this to run on ubuntu, so this is why I asked here | 14:26 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, i never copyied updates. i am comp engg student. and i keep dong experiment. frequest installations etc. i dont know where updates are saved. | 14:26 |
| nicofs | getooxer: that sounds a bit like you know that sort of programm for other distributions... | 14:26 |
| Rip_Buffgroin | Howdy | 14:26 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, i just watch your video and its visual is very bad. | 14:27 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav:so u waste so much time in installing again,strange! | 14:27 |
| West | hi | 14:27 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: i dont understand why youtube is not playing it well | 14:27 |
| meklee | IdleOne: cnt find that plugin | 14:27 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, yah. now I just upagraded to 10.041 64 bti. I have backup of 32bit aps i used in past. and its not useful. so I have to install all aps freshly now. :( | 14:28 |
| balkierode | // | 14:28 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: when i played it on my media player the quality is superb | 14:28 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, me too ;) | 14:28 |
| West | sa can Polish channels here ? | 14:28 |
| Pici | !pl | West | 14:28 |
| ubottu | West: Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 14:28 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, then I suggest you try another format | 14:28 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: does youtube actually play the ogg format | 14:29 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, I dnt know. | 14:29 |
| IdleOne | !flash | meklee | 14:29 |
| ubottu | meklee: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 14:29 |
| West | but it does not need I help it wants to talk from Polish user | 14:29 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav:so ubuntu 9.10 app wont work on 10.04,it make an compatibility problem. | 14:29 |
| Dr_Willis | youtube likes to convert videos you upload.. and they often do it badly. :) | 14:29 |
| Danskmand | Howdy :-) - How can I decrypt a .axx file in Ubuntu ? | 14:30 |
| Rip_Buffgroin | I'm looking for some reading. I've been using ubuntu for about a year now and I pretty much got day to day use. Any good reading about some intermidate topics? | 14:30 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav :see win7 can run app of xp ,alsoWin 98. | 14:30 |
| qjcg | :j #sysadmin | 14:30 |
| === West is now known as MindWorld | ||
| Slart | Danskmand: running AxDecrypt.exe in a vm or perhaps in wine.. not sure if there is a native decrypter for linux | 14:31 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, hhhh? from where does win comes in between? we were discussing about ubuntu. and what i tell you was 64 bit os vs 32 bit os. nothing to do with win. | 14:31 |
| Danskmand | Slart: Ah, I see....So my colleague was right :-) | 14:31 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, thought i dnt know exctly but it seems that youtube dont support. (Please note taht I dont knwo exactlhy) | 14:32 |
| Danskmand | I just couldnt believe there isnt such a thing in Ubuntu.... | 14:32 |
| meklee | IdleOne: this is it http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ direct ppl there | 14:32 |
| Slart | Danskmand: well.. I just did a brief search of the repository and some googling.. it's possible that there's something out there I missed | 14:32 |
| * Dr_Willis has never even seen a .axx file | 14:32 | |
| IdleOne | meklee: no that is not the correct way. | 14:33 |
| Dyrcona | meklee: if you enable universe, flash shows up in the Software Center. | 14:33 |
| Slart | Danskmand: the source code is available on their site so it shouldn't be that hard to create a linux version.. I've never heard of the application myself so I don't know if it's widely used or not | 14:33 |
| bullgard_ | When will be released KOffice 2.2? | 14:34 |
| Beyecixramd | bullgard_: why don't you check the official webpage? :) | 14:34 |
| bcessa | hi there, I'm looking to be able to restrict a user inside this home directory, I've read about several possible solutions like ibsh but the project seems to be dead, any suggestions about this? | 14:34 |
| Pici | bullgard_: KOffice 2.2 looks like it is in the lucid-backports repository. | 14:34 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav:sorry to hurt ur sentiment,well but ubuntu has such great people working up ,why can't they design a s/w to clone partions of ubuntu .Again sorry for using win. | 14:34 |
| LjL | coolstacy: you certainly can clone partitions in Ubuntu. what does that have to do with installing updates, however? | 14:35 |
| bullgard_ | Pici: Ah! Thank you very much for your help. | 14:35 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav: i know ubuntu people hate the word windows so much. | 14:35 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, no no you ddnt hurt me in any way. its perfectly ok. i just point you back on the main point that we should discuss about ubuntu here | 14:35 |
| LjL | !info partimage | coolstacy | 14:35 |
| ubottu | coolstacy: partimage (source: partimage): backup partitions into a compressed image file. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.8-1 (lucid), package size 276 kB, installed size 968 kB | 14:35 |
| ubutom | coolstacy, if you want to clone I recommend clonezilla, cloned a win7 install with it recently ;) | 14:35 |
| Dr_Willis | bcessa: why are you wanting to do that anyway? theres being secure, then theres 'paranoid' :) Then theres 'Tinfoil Hat paranoid' | 14:35 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, and there is no sorry using win. its ok every company , software has its own pros and cons. its ok :) | 14:36 |
| bcessa | :) I prefer to be paranoid on this one | 14:36 |
| Rip_Buffgroin | Dr_Willis, dont make fun of the tinfoil hat. Not only is it stylish it protects against alien mind control | 14:36 |

| amokpaule | hello, i try to mount my floppy by typing mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy into the terminal. When i do so i see the floppy for some seconds then it dissapears again. | 14:37 |
| bcessa | I c, I'll look into that, thnx, I was also checking rbash but it becomes pretty much unusable, you can't even cd into any of your directories :/ | 14:37 |
| Dr_Willis | amokpaule: does the floppy drive spin/light up? There Is a disk in the drive? | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | amokpaule: « dmesg | tail -n20 » may shed some light on the problem | 14:38 |
| bergLNX | can one ask for wine aid here? wine looses sound after a suspend and resume, and im wondering if theres a way to restart the sound drivers without having to restart wine? "wineboot" didnt do it... | 14:38 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav : i am into civil engg,but the ubuntu does not support Auto cad Like big s/w,using wine i heard it crashes ur system. | 14:38 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, yah may be. there are good cad software for linux. | 14:38 |
| Dr_Willis | 'Auto Cad' (the company) dosent support Linux. :) i think is the more correct statement. | 14:38 |
| Slart | bergLNX: it might be your "real" sound drivers that die.. can you play any sound from native/linux apps after a suspend/resume? | 14:38 |
| LjL | coolstacy: actually, you can as well say it's AutoCAD that doesn't support Ubuntu. Ubuntu can't just pretend to be Windows (it tries, with WINE, but it's not Windows), so if programs aren't made for Linux, there's not much one can do. | 14:39 |
| amokpaule | the light is on and a disk is in. | 14:39 |
| abhi_nav | Dr_Willis, :) | 14:39 |
| Dr_Willis | bottom lines of that dmesg | tail -n20 command may give a clue as to whats goin gon | 14:39 |
| bergLNX | Slart: yeah, and if i restart wine, or rather the program im running through wine, i get the sound back... usually. but my sound card/driver is indeed a little uncooperative here in linux, so might be that the problem lays elsewhere | 14:40 |
| Slart | Danskmand: by the way.. axcrypt isn't supported on 64bit windows 7 either.. no mac client, no linux client, no 64bit client.. I wouldn't trust these guys with my sensitive data if you look at that track record =) | 14:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Slart: how about for dos! | 14:41 |
| Slart | bergLNX: wineboot only runs a simulated boot in your little wine windows world.. not really sure what it does but it doesn't fix hardware problems like that | 14:41 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav:what happens using wine is it eats ur RAM so much that its impossible to smoothly work on it. | 14:41 |
| amokpaule | btw i gfloppy does also not work, im under lucid. | 14:41 |
| AdminX | Hello, I am running Gnome. Other than Firestarter and gufw, any other firewall clients I might try? | 14:42 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, thats why i leave using wine ;) | 14:42 |
| Slart | Dr_Willis: nope.. windows 2000 was the earliest, I think.. | 14:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !firewall | AdminX | 14:42 |
| ubottu | AdminX: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Firestarter/Gufw (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE) also exist. | 14:42 |
| bergLNX | Slart: yeah i guess... oh well | 14:43 |
| kickingintender | hi | 14:43 |
| scar_ | can i use my nokia phone as a speaker (via usb)? | 14:43 |
| erUSUL | scar_: you can not | 14:43 |
| AdminX | Dr_Willis: Yes, looking for better frontend | 14:44 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav :i dont want to underestimate ubuntu,its great and rocks.I choose ubuntu because NO VIRUS,FREE ORIGINALLY,S/W FREE,GAMES FREE,APP FREEand not crashes too much. | 14:44 |
| piero | i do have ubuntu 10.4 cd and i want to upgrade it how do i do it | 14:44 |
| Slart | piero: insert the cd.. it should pop up a little dialog box asking you if you want to use it | 14:44 |
| erUSUL | piero: upgrade from 9.10 ? | 14:44 |
| amokpaule | It says VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev fd0. So i fomrated the disk with mkdosfs /dev/fd0 but i still get the same error that it can't find a valid FAT Filesystem. | 14:44 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, yah ubuntu rocks! (just for your info that this criteria suits for all major linux distro) | 14:44 |
| === gb_ is now known as GaMeBoY | ||
| kickingintender | now that ....i want 2 locate where my downloaded deb files are there on my pc | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | amokpaule: whats the -t option you were using? | 14:45 |
| kickingintender | its not in /var in lucid | 14:45 |
| abhi_nav | kickingintender, its somewhere in /archieve | 14:45 |
| erUSUL | kickingintender: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 14:45 |
| abhi_nav | yah there | 14:45 |
| Dr_Willis | kickingintender: the package manager caches them in /var/cache | 14:45 |
| Slart | kickingintender: /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 14:45 |
| piero | yea upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4 | 14:45 |
| amokpaule | i think its specifys the file system, i got the command from the ubuntu wiki | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | piero: for that you need the alternate cd the desktopcd wont work | 14:46 |
| piero | i inserted the cd but nothing happened | 14:46 |
| scar_ | erUSUL: if phone to pc doesn't work i'm sure pc to phone will, just will have to setup streaming software... thanks for the quick answer | 14:46 |
| Dr_Willis | piero: is that the Desktop cd? or the Alternative CD? | 14:46 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav: really it rocks ,but i thing major market occupied by Win(sorry to say the word),when will ubuntu be a common OS to use. | 14:46 |
| kickingintender | ok | 14:47 |
| kickingintender | i wanted 2 install k3b but i dont have internet | 14:47 |
| Slart | coolstacy: when people like me stop buying it because of all the sweet games it can run =) | 14:47 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, hmm if now you dont have any ubuntu question then we may continue in #Ubuntu-offtopic. :) | 14:47 |
| piero | desktop cd | 14:47 |
| erUSUL | scar_: then the question is « i want to play in my phone media streamed from my pc » no « i want to use my phone as a speaker » ; isn't it ? :) | 14:47 |
| kickingintender | so i downloaded the packages for it and there dependencies now thats over,i have a problem | 14:47 |
| Slart | coolstacy: but this isn't really on topic in here | 14:47 |
| abhi_nav | Slart, :) :D ;) | 14:47 |
| kickingintender | kdelibs-bin says its dependent on kdelibs5 and vice versa | 14:47 |
| Dr_Willis | piero: as far as i know you can only 'upgrade' via the Alternative Installer cd. | 14:48 |
| kickingintender | what say Dr_Willis | 14:48 |
| coolstacy | abhi_nav:from when u are using ubuntu,u might be having similar problen. | 14:48 |
| piero | ok | 14:48 |
| Dr_Willis | kickingintender: id plug in a network cable... :) | 14:48 |
| IdleOne | coolstacy: Do you have a Ubuntu support question? | 14:48 |
| coolstacy | slart:sorry its my first chat. | 14:49 |
| kickingintender | no way | 14:49 |
| Beyecixramd | coolstacy: i've been using Linux for years with no problems :) | 14:49 |
| abhi_nav | coolstacy, no. its perfect. i just do regular college work. and its suits well. i wll be know more when i use it now for my upcomding college projects etc. then i wll have most exact opinion | 14:49 |
| kickingintender | i am getting a net connection this week | 14:49 |
| kickingintender | we will see | 14:49 |
| Slart | coolstacy: no worries, this channel is for support questions only.. regular chat is better kept in #ubuntu-offtopic | 14:49 |

| erUSUL | !compile | nicofs | 14:51 |

| erUSUL | skeeter101: both nics are in the same LAN that you are in ? | 14:52 |
| kickingintender | sbin or bin? or user>>bin | 14:52 |
| LjL | kickingintender: if two packages seem to be dependant on each other, try installing everything with dpkg -i *.deb | 14:52 |
| Beyecixramd | kickingintender: Linux is not Windows... they can be everywhere. What do you need that for? | 14:52 |
| win7 | yup | 14:52 |
| erUSUL | kickingintender: programs are installed "scattered" in the system mostly under /usr/ | 14:52 |
| LjL | kickingintender: most programs are in /usr/bin. you can find out by typing "dpkg -L packagename" anyway. | 14:52 |
| Slart | kickingintender: they are installed a little all over the place.. you can check in synaptic.. right click on something you've got installed and select properties.. there should be a list of all the files there | 14:52 |

| abhi_nav | coolstacy, bye :) | 14:53 |
| Beyecixramd | MauL^: what have you installed? | 14:53 |
| Slart | MauL^: run uname -a in a terminal | 14:53 |
| Slart | MauL^: if it ends in something with 64 you're running 64bit | 14:53 |
| win7 | i have ubuntu with kde and kde is sooooo slow | 14:53 |

| LjL | MauL^: that's 32bit | 14:53 |
| Slart | MauL^: 32bit | 14:53 |
| Beyecixramd | win7: more like your computer is old | 14:53 |
| MauL^ | ok.. thanks | 14:53 |
| kickingintender | now thats very tricky ...coz i doent want 2 mess with terminal | 14:53 |
| win7 | yup | 14:54 |
| erUSUL | skeeter101: so the external nic has a valid internet ip adress ? and you ca not ping it? what error do you get? maybe the server is filtering pings (if it is facing internet it should ) | 14:54 |
| Beyecixramd | win7: install something else... like XFCE | 14:54 |
| win7 | it's a 4 year old pc | 14:54 |
| Beyecixramd | win7: or GNOME... | 14:54 |
| win7 | yup i have installed before | 14:54 |

| Thaxll | Hello is there a working alternative for gnome-network-manger for handling OpenVPN connection, I still get error with the GUI but it's working fine with the command line ? | 14:54 |
| Beyecixramd | kickingintender: why not? copy and paste, there's nothing that could go wrong | 14:54 |
| kickingintender | shucks there is a user with win7 name here | 14:54 |

| skeeter101 | erUSUL: yes the external does have a valid internet ip.....and no I cannot ping it, or even view anything in browser, apache is running......can get to 192.168.xx.xx just fine....but when I try to go to static.ip.xx.xx it times out | 14:55 |
| Beyecixramd | kickingintender: use symbols, numbers and lowercase and uppercase letters combined... | 14:55 |
| Slart | kickingintender: there are tools that generate strong passwords for you.. pwgen is one.. there are others | 14:55 |

| iceroot | kickingintender: makepasswd --chars=20 | 14:56 |
| Slart | kickingintender: there are also some tricks and tips floating around.. like taking the first letter of each word in some kind of phrase you can remember.. song lyrics or whatever.. do some weird changes, add a number or two and you're done | 14:56 |
| skeeter101 | erUSUL: I want to be able to view contents of /var/www if I type in the 192 ip or the static ip....... | 14:56 |

| erUSUL | skeeter101: via a router ? cable modem ? maybe some element is blocking the connections toport 80 | 14:58 |
| Slart | CodePoint: it seems to work if I go to http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com in firefox.. does that work for you? | 14:58 |
| Slart | CodePoint: but I get another ip than you do.. | 14:59 |
| CodePoint | Slart, that works for me too, it seems to be just apt-get (and aptitude) that won't update | 14:59 |
| Polarbear541 | hey | 14:59 |
| skeeter101 | erUSUL: is connected through router, and I have four other boxes that I can get to port 80 just fine on......even on this particular box, with 2 nic's, one with a 192 ip, and the other with a static,.....if I type 192.168.x.x I get the contents in /var/www..... | 14:59 |
| Slart | CodePoint: hmm.. odd.. | 14:59 |
| skeeter101 | erUSUL: but if I type the static ip, it times out...... | 15:00 |
| Slart | CodePoint: not really sure if those do things differently compared to a regular browser | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | skeeter101: maybe you have to configure the router to redirect connections to the server ? NAT ? | 15:00 |
| CodePoint | Slart, I don't see why it would. However it seems odd that I can ping those addresses but apt cannot. | 15:00 |

| Slart | *can think of | 15:12 |
| VCoolio | Avasz: use 'dpkg-query -L <package>' to see what files it installed | 15:13 |
| skeeter101 | Slart: I am within the firewall on the same lan | 15:13 |
| skeeter101 | thats the thing | 15:13 |
| skeeter101 | lol | 15:13 |
| carneiro | skeeter101: what seems to be the problem ? | 15:13 |
| Slart | skeeter101: I meant the firewall on the computer you're messing with | 15:13 |

| skeeter101 | carneiro: nope | 15:14 |
| ubutom | kyle_, you sure it's not 1366x768? | 15:14 |
| remoteCTRL | :) | 15:15 |
| carneiro | skeeter100 : to ping public ip from private network you need to NAT private ip to public .. | 15:15 |
| carneiro | skeeter101: check the routes also | 15:16 |
| skeeter101 | carneiro: the public ip is on the private network..... | 15:16 |
| carneiro | skeeter101: is there any Ip forwarding ? | 15:16 |
| skeeter101 | carneiro: nope | 15:16 |

| carneiro | skeeter101: before u do that ... run a traceroute -n <PUBLICIP> on both server ... | 15:21 |

| Danskmand | Howdy :-) - I've got a laptop with ubuntu and a second screen. I've mad it a "extended desktop", but I see the taskbar on the laptop, not the external monitor (I guess the notebook sees the internal screen as the main screnn) - How can I change that ? | 15:22 |
| skeeter101 | carneiro: on the server in question? or from another? | 15:22 |
| joschi | Slart: zendframework is a transitional package for libzend-framework-php which is version 1.10.3 | 15:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Danskmand: You can drag the gnome panel to the 2nd monitor if you wanted. Or add a new panel there. | 15:22 |
| Slart | joschi: it also says in the description that zend-framework is a transient package | 15:22 |
| Slart | sorry... transitional | 15:22 |
| Slart | not transcient =) | 15:22 |
| Danskmand | Dr_Willis | 15:22 |
| joschi | Slart: transitional means it will be removed sometime in the near future? | 15:23 |
| Danskmand | That is easier than telling ubuntu that the external monitor is the main monitor ? | 15:23 |
| joschi | Slart: or asked differently: with a custom .deb, should I depend on zend-framework or zendframework? | 15:23 |
| Slart | joschi: afaik it means that it exists so that older things that rely on it being there doesn't break but it will disappear in the future | 15:23 |

| skeeter101 | carneiro: off of two different boxes | 15:24 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: a script that runs when you login to bash. check its contents | 15:25 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis, : i use this guide for change shell prompt http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-shell-change-the-color-of-my-shell-prompt-under-linux-or-unix/ | 15:26 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: so? theres dozens of guides on changing the shell prompt. | 15:26 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: asnd theres some bash 'theme' tools out to let you build up a prompt | 15:27 |
| Jordan_U | skeeter101: What is the output of "route -n"? Even if the server's public ip is accessable via the same network segment, you'll still need to specify a (likely static) route to it. | 15:27 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: theres even a 'bash prompt howto' at tldp.org | 15:27 |
| EvilTrek | is there any way to manually specify a time offset for system time via terminal? | 15:28 |
| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: going to place in pastebin ok? | 15:28 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis, when login to linux run commands in .bashrc | 15:28 |
| Jordan_U | skeeter101: Yes. | 15:28 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: theres .profile and .bashrc with a login shell i think it runs the .profile, then the .bashrc | 15:29 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: when in doubt put some 'echo "This is bashrc"' at the start of the .bashrc and see when it runs | 15:29 |
| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/m9vYD6AW | 15:29 |
| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: not sure what that 169 ip is though | 15:30 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis,is login time when start linux ? or open terminal ? | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: Yes... to all. | 15:30 |
| rabbit1 | i have a ISP client installed, need to tweek it, any idea? | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: whenever a bash shell is started and they can start from scripts or X or at other times.. it reads those configs | 15:31 |
| crispy_ | exit | 15:31 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis, but when open a new trminal my commands not run | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: people often think theres a 'gui mode' and a 'shell mode' like windows/dos days.. but actually there really is not that big a distinction. :) | 15:31 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: put a echo command in the .bashrc as a test. and .profile as a test. to see whats getting ran. | 15:32 |

| coolstacy | how do i use grub instead of winbootloader?i am new to ubuntu and running 9.10. | 15:32 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis, TNX | 15:32 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: also a 'login shell' is different try 'xterm -ls' to see - that Should run both .profile and .bashrc | 15:32 |
| syron | hey guys, I got a big problem. Hope some1 can help me. I installed Xampp to my machine and some updates to ubuntu, after I rebooted my computer is stuck in a reboot loop, just comes along the ubuntu load screen and then it reboots :/ | 15:32 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: .bash_profile is different also.. if that exists then i think the .profile is ignored.. Under ubuntu now. You dont use .bash_profile, you use just .profile (i think) | 15:33 |
| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: did u get that? | 15:33 |
| amine | How i can remove Entries From Grub2 plz | 15:33 |
| Jordan_U | skeeter101: Yes. | 15:34 |
| erUSUL | amine: remove the kernels you do not use | 15:34 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis, tank U from your Guide . i try it | 15:34 |
| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: look right? yes? no? | 15:34 |
| Dr_Willis | jeus: the default prompt is set in .bashrc so change it at the end of that file if you want your own | 15:34 |

| drizzt_ | kanzie, add them to tar first | 15:36 |
| Dr_Willis | kanzie: i would put them in an archive first then. | 15:36 |
| syron | is there any key-combination that I can use on ubuntu loading screen to start safe mode or something like that? | 15:36 |
| jeus | Dr_Willis, it work correctly TNX | 15:37 |
| amine | Dr_Willis: so how | 15:37 |
| kanzie | Dr_Willis & drizzt_: Well, actually it is through mercurial version control the problem appears, so I have to rename the file dupilicates | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | amine: theres some guides on altering those entries. I never bothered with them 0> http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17787/clean-up-the-new-ubuntu-grub2-boot-menu/ | 15:37 |
| anothernewbie | any ideas on how to fix it? | 15:37 |
| Dr_Willis | amine: and the grub2 wiki page and forum threads on the ubuntu forums discuss it also. | 15:37 |

| rabbit11 | drizzt_: i have issues with compatibility with firefox | 15:45 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, on their forum this is what i got: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web+Search/thread?tid=08197160d4c2d28f&hl=en | 15:45 |
| prem | Hi All, | 15:45 |

| Adys | anyone has the flashplugin .so for 64bit? (the non-nspluginwrapper one) :/ | 15:48 |
| skeeter101 | prem: what ERUSUL said | 15:48 |
| prem | skeeter101: I did all things I could find on net for this problem but the problem persists | 15:49 |
| rabbit11 | drizzt_: here the problem is , these ISP guys have integrated something to check for the user connection availability to firefox only, and during this process, it will send a info to firefox and if its not running ISP will disconnect, and if firefox is on and running, firefox blocks the message from ISP client. so again, it is disconnected, what ever the case is it will be disconnected, so better way is to edit the ISP client files and make that checking | 15:49 |
| skeeter101 | prem: it happen after the update/upgrade? | 15:49 |
| prem | skeeter101: no, | 15:49 |
| Jordan_U | skeeter101: Is the server you're trying to access within the 173.164.xx.xxx/29 network? | 15:50 |

| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: how to update chrome | 15:50 |
| drizzt_ | rabbit11, I doubt your ISP gave you permission to do that | 15:50 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, you can get latest .deb from google web site and install it by double clicking on it | 15:50 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: its about 17mb | 15:51 |
| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: is your question relevant to the "29"???? | 15:51 |
| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: if so, I dont know what that stands for really..... | 15:51 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: i just want to update so that the bug gets fixed | 15:51 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, do update from update manager | 15:52 |
| drizzt_ | rabbit11, and this question should be really addressed to your provider | 15:52 |
| Jordan_U | skeeter101: It's the network mask, the number of leading bits in the ip address that need to match for the ip to be on the same network. | 15:52 |
| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: I logged into the modem and it is on a "173.163.xx.xx/29 network | 15:52 |
| arunkumar413 | abhi_nav: that will update the unnecessary stuff also. i want to update only chrome browser | 15:52 |
| hdtdi | hi i have a problem with my microphone. its working, i talk to skype and suddenly it stops working and its not muted its not low volume.. when i restart my pc is ok and then again.. | 15:53 |
| Beyecixramd | hdtdi: Skype in Linux works VERY VERY bad | 15:53 |
| abhi_nav | arunkumar413, go to update manager click on check button then it wll give you the list of all possible updates. deselect all and only select chrome. actually i dont know the command line way . that will be easy. ask somene aboutu it | 15:54 |
| Beyecixramd | hdtdi: i don't recommend you to use Skype until they fix it up | 15:54 |
| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: is there something about the /29 that I would have to configure somewhere? | 15:54 |
| Jordan_U | skeeter101: If you know how to work with binary, write out the two ip addresses in binary and make sure that the first 29 bits match (or, to put it another way, that only the last three bits can differ) | 15:54 |
| hdtdi | Beyecixramd, skype cause my microphone to stop working? | 15:54 |
| Beyecixramd | hdtdi: maybe. Skype does weird things. For example, only the first videocall works, once you hang up, you will never be able to use your webcam again until you reboot | 15:55 |

| skeeter101 | Jordan_U: no.....but working on it.....got the static converted to binary....I do the 192 addy the same way? | 16:01 |
| yxz97 | NO erUSUL WRONG YOU ARE WRONG ! | 16:01 |

| pejay | Or boot from LiveCD | 16:02 |

| daffel | yxz97: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword | 16:04 |
| Jordan_U | skeeter101: The 192 route is fairly simple, any ip starting with 192.168.5. is in that network. You don't really need to go into binary when every octet in the mask is either 255 or 0. | 16:04 |

| RustyNickle | take it out of the freezer | 16:17 |
| ikonia | saji89: depends a lot on the reason for the freeze, when it freezes if you press numlock, does the numlock light on your keyboard come n / off | 16:17 |
| sri | how do I remove hald from lucid? | 16:17 |
| ikonia | doxdrum: import them from trusted sources, just as before | 16:17 |
| sri | I suspect that I still have hald because I did a dist-upgrade from karmic | 16:17 |
| ikonia | sri: why do you want to remove hal - it's quite important | 16:17 |
| carneiro | Krow_: try using Xubuntu on low-end machines ... | 16:17 |

| saji89 | ikonia: The system freezes when running any random program, I didn't notice any pattern in the freezes | 16:18 |
| ikonia | sri: yes, I missed that you where running lucid, just open the package manager and remove it | 16:18 |
| sri | ikonia: my real reason is that I want to write some code to query power management and hal sucks for that. | 16:18 |
| ikonia | doxdrum: where did you get the keys from before ? | 16:18 |

| p1l0t | :quit | 16:44 |
| p1l0t | lol | 16:44 |

| Type-O | bastid_raZor, is there another config file that tells the default govenor? | 16:45 |
| Dr_Willis | hal: theres some gnome setting i recall ages ato that turned off the effects.. the little box's.. but on any mondern pc. the speed should be very fast anyway | 16:45 |
| Stephen_ | Kk, i install ubuntu, going through all the propmts and then reboot and it just starts windows | 16:45 |
| Fanshawe | Exactly the same here, Dr_Willis. It's a little frustrating. On Windows there was a program called EeeRotate that did it in a much simpler way. | 16:45 |
| kesroesweyth | amanita > did you try apt-get purge vlc | 16:46 |

| hal | Dr_Willis: all the pages that google gives speak about slow performance> that's not my issue - it's just that the animation could be quicker. | 16:47 |
| kesroesweyth | amanita > i am out of n00b ideas xD | 16:47 |
| thune3 | amanita: just a question, are you trying vlc after removing each component? or waiting until you have deleted all of it before running? | 16:47 |
| amanita | <kesroesweyth> mee too =/ | 16:47 |
| hal | Dr_Willis: in windows, you can disable this type of "synthetic" delay | 16:47 |
| sipior | Stephen_: yes, sounds like grub was never properly installed. you have both windows and linux on the same disk? | 16:47 |
| amanita | thune3 i delet them all, and after this i try again. | 16:47 |
| Dr_Willis | hal: i recall some gnome/metacity setting that disabled all the 'effects' but i cant recall where i even saw that at. it was ages ago. perhaps befor compuiz eas even in use.. and if you are using compiz. it may not even apply any more. | 16:47 |
| amanita | thune3 i just want to play a wmv video, and the gstreamer isnt working for this with Mplayer, u have any idea of how to lpay a wmv? | 16:48 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: depends on the codec the wmv is using. Theres some codecs that are not avilable in linux/ubuntu/for mplayer | 16:49 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: i can play most wmv's fine in vlc,. and smplayer (mplayer) | 16:49 |

| Dr_Willis | amanita: run player from command line, look at output.. see what it says about the video. | 16:50 |
| hal | Dr_Willis: what will I sacrifice if I enable that? | 16:50 |
| Dr_Willis | hal: with compiz its so tweakable.. i dont even know what all you can disable. i DO know about everything has a timedelay you can set to be very fast. | 16:50 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis i already did. The VLC is with a strange error. | 16:51 |
| Dr_Willis | hal: no idea. it may not even work with compiz | 16:51 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis the default player of ubuntu says that is a codec problem | 16:51 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis and the Mplayer says that cant recognize the video output, and plays only audio. | 16:51 |

| ve2dmn | Lalitha: Somehting changed somewhere but it might not be your fault... | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: unless you can give a url to the file for others to check it out. | 16:59 |

| Jordan_U | subuntu: That monitor's EDID info is probably bad, so it's advertizing itself of being capable of a mode (resolution / refresh rate) that it can't actually handle. | 17:00 |
| hal | Dr_Willis: good news! I fixed it setting the minimize windows duration in the "CompizConfig Settings Manager" | 17:00 |
| Lalitha | ve2dmn, I cannot use SCIM and parcellite. They both appear on the tray but if i click they kill themselves and restart themselves (!!) .. I also tried killing scim from the task manager many times. Every time i kill it , it restarts.. A VIRUS , it behaves like A VIRUS. | 17:00 |
| Jordan_U | subuntu: You'll have to figure out what it actually can handle, and write a manual Xorg.conf. | 17:00 |
| hal | thank you for your help Dr_Willis | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | hal: you may as well just turn off the effects. :) | 17:01 |
| Dr_Willis | hal: you want a 30 sec+ flame/explosion to close the windows. You know you do! | 17:01 |

| amanita | Dr_Willis http://www.fileserve.com/file/SWhdpgg | 17:04 |
| Lalitha | abhi_nav, I am an absolute beginner. Please talk in a way that i can understand. What is ibus ? is it in the software center ? | 17:04 |
| ve2dmn | Lalitha: because it is restarted by the system. Something is probably depending on it | 17:04 |

| ve2dmn | hotfloppy: USB modem? unless this is a firmware interface or something.... highly unlikely | 17:08 |
| DexterLB | could someone tell me what's the vino start command (the one in startup apps->remote desktop)? I accidently removed the entry :( | 17:09 |

| abhi_nav | Lalitha, you want to type in some Indian lang and you want solution for that. right? | 17:09 |
| hotfloppy | Dr_Willis, so they will not effect my $home usage ? | 17:09 |
| ve2dmn | What is in that directory? | 17:10 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis ill be waiting... It would be very nice if i could play this at linux... Makes no sense see a video about linux at windows. | 17:10 |

| s34n | I seem to have acx firmware, but no kernel module | 17:10 |
| hotfloppy | drizzt_, which partition to check ? /home ? its mounted.. | 17:10 |
| Lalitha | abhi_nav, I already found the solution last week. Whenever i click on the scim icon on the tray, it just kills itself and restarts. | 17:10 |
| kanhiya | hello everybody | 17:10 |
| Lalitha | abhi_nav, and hey, starting ibus has helped it to prevent from killing itself. Thanks. | 17:10 |
| ve2dmn | Lalitha: it's not actually "killed"... it's probably crashing | 17:11 |
| magellan | hi lucyd lynx doesn't support multiple windows | 17:11 |
| hotfloppy | ve2dmn: What is in that directory? <- is that for me ? $home.. err.. my home folder (surpised !! :P ) | 17:11 |
| abhi_nav | Lalitha, hmm you add ibus to startup aps | 17:11 |
| magellan | or just hidden somewhere else on the settings | 17:11 |
| ve2dmn | hotfloppy: can you do a "df -h" in a terminal? | 17:11 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: it makes no sence for them to be using .wmv and rar's either... | 17:11 |
| === hobodave_ is now known as hobodave | ||
| Lalitha | ve2dmn, even if i "Kill" from system monitor, It restarts ;-) | 17:12 |

| amanita | Dr_Willis i agree... But its good stuff... What can i do? =/ | 17:12 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: the only wmv's ive ever had issues playing are either malware-virus laden, or drm'd | 17:12 |
| Lalitha | abhi_nav, command to be added in startup applications ? | 17:12 |
| subuntu | Dr_Willis, mikubuntu from yesterday prob with signal no screen .. i just installed 9.10 and it came up fine, but resolution was bad at 800 x 600, so i installed nvidia restricted driver (175 - recommended) but then when i restarted got black screen, not 'no signal' but 'out of range' | 17:12 |
| abhi_nav | Lalitha, ibus-daemon | 17:12 |
| ve2dmn | Lalitha: yeah, like I said: something is restarting it because, as a user you probalby have something depending on it. | 17:13 |

| Lalitha | boing, http://ubuntu-manual.org/ ?? | 17:14 |
| om26er | boing, ubuntu is simple and easy just like any other major OS | 17:14 |
| subuntu | Dr_Willis, how do i tell? looks like a 'serial' type pin connecting cord | 17:14 |
| Lalitha | abhi_nav, yes yes, i know. or click on the icon and choose the language. | 17:14 |
| subuntu | Dr_Willis: with the two set screws on either side | 17:15 |
| Lalitha | abhi_nav, i am going to logout of the session and check. please don't exit the irc channel if you can. | 17:15 |

| Lalitha | Hi abhi_nav , You Are my angel ;-) | 17:16 |
| abhi_nav | Lalitha, ;) | 17:16 |
| subuntu | Dr_Willis: then i guess its vga | 17:16 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis, must be a little it tricky, but u have a good result. | 17:16 |
| hotfloppy | ve2dmn, yeap, i thought so.. actually, i just want to know what that .gvfs (is it? forgot already) thing is.. | 17:16 |
| s34n | shouldn' | 17:16 |
| Lalitha | abhi_nav, Parcellite and Scim icon on the tray, now, does not quit if i click on. Thanks , very much. | 17:16 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis i'll code something for convert with right click too... Good idea. | 17:16 |
| less | stercor: launch xclock from the command line with the -geometry option. | 17:17 |
| Lalitha | ve2dmn, thanks to you too . | 17:17 |
| abhi_nav | Lalitha, and make your language 'move up' in list so when you press ctrl + space ibus will directly give you the langu you want to type | 17:17 |
| abhi_nav | Lalitha, :) | 17:17 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: nautilus scripts are handy. theres one on gnomelook (i think) called (let me check) | 17:17 |
| === Guest57389 is now known as sloopy | ||

| ociredeF | how do I find out what usb port to mount? | 17:18 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis Hm... I'll search for something like that. | 17:18 |
| stercor | less: and the arguments to -geometry option? | 17:18 |
| s34n | shouldn't I be able to find an acx module in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless ? | 17:18 |
| less | stercor: the coordinates on the screen. | 17:18 |

| ociredeF | any ideas? | 17:19 |
| stercor | less: I know that the numbers are specific to the screen, but what are the letters for the options? | 17:19 |
| abhi_nav | Lalitha, look when we press ctrl + space it give us english as default. so for this default 'move up' your required language | 17:19 |
| ociredeF | it doesn't auto do it with nthis one. I don't know why | 17:19 |
| jgb | ociredeF: dmesg | tail | 17:19 |
| drizzt_ | hotfloppy, run mount | grep '/.gvfs' | 17:19 |
| abhi_nav | Lalitha, you can install tamil fonts. though i dont know how. you can find it from forum etc | 17:19 |
| jgb | ociredeF: to see which device you must mount | 17:19 |
| ve2dmn | Quick tip for everyone , if you want to ps | grep jave, but not show grep itself, do "ps | grep [j]ava" :) | 17:20 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: the videos in that rar are.. .avi and one had a CRC failure. :) | 17:20 |
| hotfloppy | drizzt_: gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/hotfloppy/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=hotfloppy) | 17:20 |

| Dr_Willis | amanita: you ahve to set the defauilt video out first.. it stupidly defaults to some weird thing.. instead of xv | 17:27 |
| Dr_Willis | try -vo xv | 17:27 |
| kuttan_ | who so ever wrote xwininfo wins .. | 17:27 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis let me see! | 17:28 |
| subuntu | Jordan_U: ok, thx for your help | 17:28 |
| Jordan_U | subuntu: ##linux May have some old timers that still remember that ancient black magic :) | 17:28 |
| jgb | ociredeF: then sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp | 17:28 |
| subuntu | Jordan_U: haha | 17:28 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis i have to set this at mplayer? | 17:28 |
| Dr_Willis | I normally set it with the gui in gmplayer or smplayer | 17:28 |
| kuttan_ | how so ever hard I am trying to appreciate work done by empathy developers .. got to go back to pidgin.. | 17:28 |
| jgb | ociredeF: that will always work, now you can look for a way to fix ubuntu to mount it automatically... maybe you'll have to edit fstab, not sure how it's currently done | 17:29 |
| amanita | haahaah | 17:30 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis dude, awesome! | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: mplayer dont like it either.. thast must be some weird codec.. it does some sound, then starts skipping | 17:30 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: did it finally work? | 17:30 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis i've just seted to Xv at mplayer | 17:30 |
| steev | hey all, i'm trying to connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to my Ubuntu 10.04 system. Keyboard is a Logitech MX5000 and the mouse is the Logitech MX 1000. For a bit, I was prompted to grant/deny access to some random service, but it would just do that whenever I moved the mouse | 17:30 |
| phoenix_ | does mounting of drives take up system resources? | 17:31 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis yup! Great! A tiny problem, and so annoying... | 17:31 |
| steev | if I use blueman-assistant, then when I try to pair the mouse up... it prompts me to enter the passkey on the mouse... | 17:31 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis thanks a lot! | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: no idea why vlc dont like it.. weird. | 17:31 |
| kralyk | HI... (sry for off-topic but) Is there someone from NORWAY around? ;-) | 17:31 |
| Dr_Willis | mplayer here dont like it. :) well smplayer | 17:31 |
| ociredeF | mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist | 17:31 |
| ociredeF | jgb | 17:31 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis vlc isnt running here. | 17:31 |
| steev | all the posts about bluetooth that I find on the Ubuntu forums seem to be from around 2007 | 17:31 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis vlc dont start. Isnt a codec problem, its a vlc issue. | 17:32 |
| jgb | ociredeF: what do you see when you do sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb ? | 17:32 |
| inx-live | steev: if you just try one or the other - keyboard alone or mouse alone, do either work? | 17:32 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: check google for info on that codec perhaps. | 17:32 |
| ociredeF | jfatal error from hell press any key or world will collide | 17:33 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis no, no... The VLC isnt working. The program dont start up. | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: ffprobe says the video is ----> Stream #0.0: Video: camtasia, rgb555, 800x600, 15 tbr, 15 tbn, 15 tbc | 17:33 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: ive never seen a camtasia codec.. may be some screen shot thing | 17:33 |
| steev | inx-live: i haven't tried just the keyboard yet - they are currently working fine on the windows machine next to it - and when I plug the dongle into the ubuntu box, I get the polkit prompt to grant/deny - when i hit grant, what i see in the syslog is "HUP or ERR on socket" | 17:33 |
| hotfloppy | guys.. after finished copy my /home to another partition (to use as new /home), do i need to issue chown right away.. or after rebooting ? | 17:33 |
| zus | whats up with ubutnu within the past 24 hours?! im getting error when updating, some compiz feature like a magnifing window would pop up with super m, now a small menu drops down from under the enevlope up top.... gnome DO with super space isnt working as of 10 minutes ago,....it's always something...... | 17:33 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis no dude, my vlc isnt working, understand? | 17:34 |
| inx-live | amanita: where did you get that? | 17:34 |
| nixbox | I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04, when i get to the partition step, there is no entry in the table and all buttons are disbaled, doing an fdisk /dev/sda (on a console) shows partitions, what is the problem? | 17:34 |
| amanita | inx-live that what? | 17:34 |
| erUSUL | hotfloppy: if you moved it correctly you shouldn't need to chown ... | 17:34 |
| jgb | ociredeF: it should look like http://pastebin.com/TFK5sLKG , does the disk work on other computers? | 17:34 |
| erUSUL | !search home | 17:34 |
| ubottu | Found: disks, separatehome, cvs, aol-#ubuntu-offtopic, teg, trogdor-#ubuntuforums, awn, putty, ssh, gdesklets and 6 more, see http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi?search=home | 17:34 |

| ociredeF | jgb: it doesn | 17:34 |
| ociredeF | doesn't sorry | 17:34 |
| subuntu | Dr_Willis: Jordan_U is suggesting that i may need to edit an xorg.conf file, is that something you might be able to help with? or anybody? trying to get my friends installation up and running. | 17:34 |
| jgb | ociredeF: it doesn't work on other computers? | 17:34 |
| drizzt_ | hotfloppy, gdm will kick you if your home has wrong permissions | 17:35 |
| ociredeF | nope, it doesn't | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: im still trying to figure out why you said it was a wmv.. when i got a .avi ..... | 17:35 |
| ociredeF | and it was actually my backup disk | 17:35 |
| jgb | ociredeF: is it a new disk, or do you need to recover data from it? | 17:35 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: can vlc play ANything else at all? | 17:35 |
| kuttan | <hotfloppy> so long as you have root password & root access has been enabled by you .. there is no problem | 17:35 |
| steev | inx-live: 10.04 | 17:35 |
| Pici | !noroot | kuttan hotfloppy | 17:35 |
| ubottu | kuttan hotfloppy: We do not support having a root password set. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 17:35 |
| ociredeF | if I was able to recover it's contnt, that would make me really happy | 17:35 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis maybe couse the link i give to u was a diferent source of mine. | 17:35 |
| inx-live | steev: you have fully updated? | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: could be they have differnt links/downloads depending on the browser you are browsing the site with also. | 17:36 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: you downloaded the thing originally in windows? | 17:36 |
| hotfloppy | Pici: didnt asked about root password | 17:36 |
| kuttan | <hotfloppy> <ubottu> I agree , but not harm in informing .. no blasphemy :P | 17:36 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis yup, couse i'd to search again. No, i downloaded originally at ubuntu. | 17:36 |
| steev | inx-live: should be | 17:37 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis i'd to go to windows for make sure that the video was ok. | 17:37 |
| Pici | hotfloppy: kuttan suggested it to you, I was just making sure that you both knew that it wasn't supported ;) | 17:37 |
| hotfloppy | erUSUL: but i just moved my /home just now and i got an error and my /home/hotfloppy got owned by root.. | 17:37 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: well that rar did have a bad file in it.. so its hard to tell whats going on. at least now you can watch that Exciteing video about the linux kernel. | 17:37 |
| hotfloppy | Pici: yeah.. thanks ;) | 17:37 |
| * Dr_Willis hands amanita some no-doze | 17:37 | |
| inx-live | steev: did you say this was a laptop? if so, does it have bluetooth builtin? | 17:37 |
| amanita | hahaha | 17:38 |
| amanita | oh yeah | 17:38 |
| jgb | ociredeF: first things first, how big is the disk? do you have space to copy the whole thing to? | 17:38 |
| jgb | ociredeF: and please prefix your questions with my nick, so I can spot it easily | 17:38 |
| erUSUL | hotfloppy: then you need the chown ... ( note i said *if* you moved it correctly ) | 17:38 |
| hotfloppy | erUSUL: i followed the instruction on psychocat strictly.. | 17:38 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis but i dont have problem to run the files, my problem with vlc is other issue... The VLC dont start, isnt running. | 17:38 |
| erUSUL | hotfloppy: boot into recovery mode to do the chown | 17:38 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: even just by itself it dont run eh? not trying to play a file | 17:38 |
| subuntu | Dr_Willis: a question that just occured to me ... is it possible to use a livecd to edit and work on an underlying installed os? | 17:38 |
| ociredeF | jgb: it's not that big, it's 20 GB or something, and I am not interested in the whole content | 17:38 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis i think i cant make myself clear... The software VLC isnt starting the interface. | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | subuntu: of course. | 17:39 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis not even by itself. | 17:39 |
| hotfloppy | erUSUL: already done the chown part just now.. in normal boot mode.. | 17:39 |
| Dr_Willis | amanita: that is weird then.. You havent been upgrading any thing from unofficial sites have you? | 17:39 |
| inx-live | amanita: did you download VLC from repos? | 17:39 |
| erUSUL | hotfloppy: ok, good luck | 17:39 |
| kuttan | <Pici> No hard feelings .. :P | 17:39 |
| amanita | Dr_Willis no, i've downloaded from ubuntu sources... When i start it from the terminal i got this: http://pastebin.com/jmUCZktq | 17:39 |
| amanita | inx-live yup, from the official repositories... | 17:40 |
| steev | inx-live: no, it is a desktop system, using the logitech Bluetooth 2.0 EDR dongle (came with the set) | 17:40 |
| hotfloppy | erUSUL: i just want to know when you we do the chown.. straight away after moving /home or after rebooting ? | 17:40 |
| amanita | inx-live and then i got this http://pastebin.com/jmUCZktq | 17:40 |
| jgb | ociredeF: the proper way to do it is to dd the whole image to another disk and work on that. if it isn't that important, you can just run your recovery software directly on the disk. YMMV. you can try foremost first. it's in the repo's | 17:40 |
| erUSUL | hotfloppy: it should not matter | 17:40 |
| kuttan | hotfloppy: Just take a backup of your home dir .. | 17:40 |
| erUSUL | !undelete | 17:40 |
| ubottu | Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 17:40 |
| subuntu | Dr_Willis: is that an option for this particular monitor problem? cause as it is i have no monitor. | 17:41 |
| hotfloppy | ociredeF: you can try testdisk or photorec.. nice tools | 17:41 |
| inx-live | steev: in a terminal what do you see with "lsusb" | 17:41 |
| Dr_Willis | subuntu: if a live cd works.. you can chroot into an installed system and do things with it. depending on the problems. | 17:41 |
| ociredeF | jgb sorry, I am not following you... do i need to download something? | 17:41 |
| jgb | ociredeF: no | 17:41 |
| jgb | ociredeF: sudo apt-get install foremost | 17:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Bed time for me. Night all. | 17:42 |
| jgb | ociredeF: what type of files do you want to recover? | 17:42 |
| subuntu | Dr_Willis: yes the livecd workd on this, i used it to install .. din't have the prob till i installed the nvidea proprietary drivers | 17:42 |
| inx-live | amanita: I would uninstall VLC and grap it from the videolan website | 17:42 |
| ociredeF | jgb: mostly music, videos and some bookmarks and stuff | 17:42 |
| hotfloppy | erUSUL, kuttan : thanks.. | 17:43 |

| JyZyXEL | how do i apt-get the alternate installer then | 17:58 |
| hotfloppy | JyZyXEL: you have to download alternate cd iso from ubuntu site.. | 17:59 |

| drizzt_ | which package provides keyboard switcher in notification area?? | 17:59 |

| chris8 | Hey room--is it possible to install only the default network manager off a boot disc? or am I looking at a full reinstall? please don't ask what happened to my network manager :P | 18:00 |
| SpyderBite | frankk: the only reason I asked is cause if the scanner is physically jamming then that sounds more like a hardware vs. software problem. Only way to verify is to try scanning on another machine and try to duplicate the problem. If it works.. then you're right.. its an OS issue. If not, you saved yourself more time troubleshooting in the wrong place. | 18:00 |
| carneiro | skeeter101: problem resolved ? | 18:00 |
| LjL | JyZyXEL: the doc says: Ubuntu 9.04 extended the Encrypted Private directory technology to actually cover the entire home directory. Ubuntu 9.04 users should add the boot option "user-setup/encrypt-home=true" to the kernel boot parameters when installing from the Desktop CD. If installing from the Alternate or Server CD, the option will always appear. The user will be asked if they want to encrypt their home directory. | 18:00 |
| shoopdawoop | JyZyXEL: well you could do it with the standard live CD. but it's not an option you can just click on, instead you would have to do it manually. so if you can not do it manually, get the alternate install cd | 18:01 |

| JyZyXEL | how am i supposed to google how to start alternate install from desktop ubuntu cd | 18:02 |
| carneiro | ociredeF: is it hardware issue ? | 18:02 |
| hotfloppy | JyZyXEL: try downloading the alternate cd from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download | 18:03 |
| LjL | JyZyXEL: he's not telling you to google how to start the alternate installer from the desktop cd, because that is *not possible*. he's telling you to google how to encrypt your filesystem manually. the first result of that googling will likely be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto | 18:03 |

| LjL | SmokeyD: sudo -s -u username | 18:04 |
| shoopdawoop | Jordan_U: he said he wants to do it manually instead of using the alternate cd. if he can not use google, he can not do it manually. so it was a safeguard. thank you | 18:04 |

| aeon-ltd | joshua_roberts: depends on what you need in terms of effects & flash-e-ness | 18:34 |
| sn1988 | u mean the one I'm actually trying to fix? The hosts file tells me, ubuntu | 18:34 |
| beer | hi | 18:34 |
| aeon-ltd | joshua_roberts: murrine i would say is good, but y'know 1 day you might find a theme that needs rezlooks hence you switch | 18:34 |
| solar_george | sn1988 are you sure? normally the installer sets it to something like user-desktop | 18:34 |
| joshua_roberts | minimal effects, I have a really old video card that has no proprietary driver support, I just want to easily change login themes, desktop themes | 18:35 |
| sn1988 | yes I'm sure, but lemme check it one more time | 18:35 |
| abhi_nav | !details | ronaldo__ | 18:35 |
| ubottu | ronaldo__: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 18:35 |
| joshua_roberts | I am using a dell c640 with a radeon mobility 7500 (ATI does not support this card in linux) so I have basic rendering support. | 18:35 |
| Lord_Rahl | BlaDe, did you restart apache | 18:36 |
| aeon-ltd | joshua_roberts: what clock speed cpu and what ram? | 18:36 |
| solar_george | BusterBFMC set skype use pulseaudio then use sound preferences to set the headset to be the input device for pulse | 18:36 |
| joshua_roberts | 1gig ram 2Ghz P4 I believe | 18:36 |
| BlaDe | nope Lord_Rahl I can't do that either | 18:36 |
| BlaDe | /etc/init.d/apache2: line 105: kill: (10902) - Operation not permitted ...fail! | 18:37 |
| BlaDe | then it gives the same error as before | 18:37 |
| sn1988 | solar_george I checked again and the hosts file says: 127.0.1.1 ubuntu | 18:37 |
| Lord_Rahl | BlaDe, sudo /etc/init.d/apache | 18:37 |
| BusterBFMC | yes I have done that the mic works great, but my head set speaker will not work just system speakers | 18:37 |
| Lord_Rahl | BlaDe, sorry out sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart | 18:38 |
| aeon-ltd | joshua_roberts: thats pretty good, but if you want lighter just use whatever gtk theme you like, but if you want to 'squeeze' every bit of juice look into alternatives to gnome and compiz, something like openbox with tint2 to replace gnome + gnome panel | 18:38 |
| BlaDe | now it can't bind to 80 | 18:38 |
| tevol | I get this error, how do I Fix? VirtualHost test1.ny:0 overlaps with VirtualHost test2.ny:0, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive | 18:38 |
| BlaDe | aha now it can | 18:38 |
| solar_george | BusterBFMC select to headset in the output tab of the preferences then | 18:39 |
| mydokumen | gg | 18:39 |
| joshua_roberts | I don't want to squeeze. I need my extra squeeze for blender and gimp, not pretty menus | 18:39 |
| solar_george | sn1988 hmm, is that exactly the same in both hosts files | 18:39 |
| joshua_roberts | so I guess I will try murrine... | 18:39 |
| BlaDe | Lord_Rahl, the directory permissions are 750 how can I find out which group owns it ? because I probably shouldn't chmod all to 755 | 18:40 |
| joshua_roberts | aeon-ltd thanks | 18:40 |
| Lord_Rahl | ls -la | 18:40 |
| dries_ | Does anyone know where I can see what google chrome themes I've got installed? It doesn't seem to have a theme page like firefox.. | 18:40 |
| BlaDe | and i can't sftp in otherwise, quick phone call bac in a sec | 18:40 |
| aeon-ltd | joshua_roberts: i would still reccomend changing gnome and compiz (including all gnome heavy apps) and switching to lighter alternatives lets say gnome + compiz takes 300mb ram from boot, when i switched to openbox (plus no other gnome dependant apps) boot up was <80mb 220 mb saving is what you need not a lighter gtk theme | 18:40 |

| BusterBFMC | solar_george one sec | 18:41 |
| aeon-ltd | joshua_roberts: hope it helps. :) | 18:41 |
| joshua_roberts | It probably will. I have tried fluxbox, but that is too light weight for me... | 18:42 |
| BusterBFMC | solar_george 2.1.0.81 | 18:42 |

| pmow | I've followed several guides to setting up chroot/jail/sftp only, but users are not being restricted to their home directories. I want to only allow them to browse their own /homes, and be able to modify files inside of there but nothing outside of /home/user. Root or www-data would need write access, and optionally, it would be sftp-only for the users. Would anyone have a suggestion? I've tried: openssh directive, MySecureShell, | 18:43 |
| BusterBFMC | *scratching head* | 18:43 |
| BusterBFMC | solar_george I am puzzled | 18:44 |

| eblume | erUSUL: Yes, they same problem persists there. Curiously, gparted and parted both report the correct volume size (23 TB), but upon creating the full disk volume it immediatly shrinks to 10.9 TB, and further formatting gives an error "Cannot satisfy constraints" | 18:53 |

| solar_george | BusterBFMC Ah yes, the sound preferences panel only lets you set global sound settings | 18:55 |
| pmow | kesroesweyth: I don't suppose you still have access to the box you set this up on? Perhaps my config is screwed or perms are not set to what they need to be | 18:55 |
| BusterBFMC | solar_george all I have in skype in the drop down for speakers is pulse audio (local) | 18:55 |

| sebsebseb | Oer: yeah as far as I know SIS don't do Linux support, and that there isn't really anything reverse enginered for support either | 19:18 |

| solar_george | Jon-- fsck.vfat | 19:22 |
| sebsebseb | Oer: So did I when I tried to help someone with a SIS graphics card, to get that working in Ubuntu, and the guy wasn't that nice either. | 19:22 |

| Jon-- | solar_george: It's asking me stuff. Ahh. ;) "There are differences between boot sector and its backup." | 19:25 |
| Jon-- | solar_george: It's only a dumb FAT data partition. The boot sector shouldn't matter | 19:25 |

| martez89 | erUSUL : yeah bluray 1080p pron takes a lot of space :P | 19:33 |
| sebsebseb | piero: you can upgrade using the repos | 19:33 |

| guzu | willwork4foo, i was wondering what if you create xorg.conf in /etc/X11 and put vesa there | 19:35 |
| solar_george | abuayyoub; try something like find -iname "*.par2" -exec par2repair \{\} \; | 19:35 |
| asgdggeg | i trying very nice Oklick 555S ... its best | 19:36 |
| guzu | willwork4foo, X -configure should create xorg.conf.* in /root | 19:36 |
| asgdggeg | what Xorg version in ubuntu 10.04? | 19:36 |
| sebsebseb | !info xorg | 19:36 |

| willwork4foo | :) | 19:36 |
| willwork4foo | still hacking though.... | 19:36 |
| solar_george | abuayyoub; whoops that will work for that folder and all below it as well | 19:37 |

| abhi_nav | bullgard4, dont know | 20:10 |
| peleg | solar_george, I've read about some guys that did this modprobe magic (with various parameters), and it worked. Maybe we should just know which is the specific parameter for my device..? | 20:10 |

| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: you can disable avahi if you'd like, also note down the changes you are making incase something breaks | 20:21 |
| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: do you run cron scripts? or ssh from other pcs | 20:21 |
| _KAMI_ | I have no cron scripts and I used sshd a time ago | 20:22 |

| _KAMI_ | bacause of opensource radeon driver - so I wanted to use ureadahead with this kernel but it is not possible to create pack file for ureadahead | 20:25 |
| peleg | solar_george, where did you find the model number of the chipset? | 20:25 |
| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: if ureadahead does nothing you may as well disable it but as i said write/type these changes down | 20:26 |
| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: the last 5-10 seconds on your bootchart are occuppied by gnome and its extras i suppose you could change to a lighter WM/DE | 20:26 |
| solar_george | peleg by looking up the usb vendor id on http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices | 20:26 |

| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: then thats where the real problem is going to be | 20:29 |
| solar_george | peleg that should be unique to the chipset unless its a really crappy fake one thats not bothered getting its own id | 20:29 |
| bergLNX | erUSUL: nope... | 20:29 |

| erUSUL | bergLNX: how are you checking if everything is there ? | 20:30 |
| JHUnT | Jordan_U: hey thanks for reply. I used disk utility to create the raid. I got an error that mdraid wasn't installed and had to apt-get install. I ran again and it created the raid, but grub doesn't recognize it :( | 20:30 |
| anUbuntuUser | so I just set up a new 10.4 system with a fairly large monitor. The fullscreen flash performance was actually BETTER with the gpl driver. How does installing the nvidia drivers make flash performance wors.e? | 20:30 |
| bergLNX | "sudo cp -r /home/martin/Downloads/Striped/ /usr/share/themes/" is what i did, i then found the "Striped" folder where it should be, but its empty... | 20:30 |

| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: reduce login items, like i said earlier use lighter DEs/WMs | 20:31 |
| erUSUL | bergLNX: and you are sure /home/martin/Downloads/Striped/ is not empty ? | 20:31 |
| anUbuntuUser | don't make me install windows media center 2005 again ... please don't make me do that. 99% of the use of this computer will be DVDs and Hulu.com ... even their desktop player is choppy as hell. | 20:32 |

| bergLNX | erUSUL: yeah, but after a "ls" i noticed that the content did indeed copy... its just invisible to me... hm... and the theme aint loading either | 20:32 |
| JHUnT | Jordan_U: alternate CD? I'm using the 10.4 Live download from the ubuntu site. Is that the CD you're referring to? | 20:33 |
| anUbuntuUser | i can go to quarter native on the resolution, which will help some (since it is going to be used as a tv it doesn't need hte 1480xwhatever) | 20:33 |
| peleg | solar_george, so go ahead and have some coffee! :) I appreciate your help. I'll read that page you've sent me in the meanwhile :) | 20:33 |
| Jordan_U | JHUnT: No, the LiveCD installer doesn't support installing to RAID. | 20:33 |
| Jordan_U | !alternate | JHUnT | 20:33 |

| ddrj | anyone here have a wusb100v2 card? (i've already looked into the wiki and help files for ubuntu's supported cards) | 20:36 |
| Jordan_U | anUbuntuUser: Yes, you can work around the main use of flash by using totem (the movie player that comes with Ubuntu) or html5 to browse youtube though. | 20:37 |
| _KAMI_ | aeon-ltd: should I use XFCE or lighter? | 20:37 |
| BlaDe | what causes failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-sftp" ? | 20:37 |
| anUbuntuUser | what I mean by that is that to do things just like we did on windows we need flash to work full screen. So I can't switch our livingroom pc over to linux until we can play full screen video in flash | 20:37 |
| _KAMI_ | miniuser: Yeah cool, but my laptop is in duty | 20:38 |
| _KAMI_ | It has a big hdd in it. | 20:38 |
| _KAMI_ | aeon-ltd: I will reboot soon however I have an ongoing copy I would like to finish it | 20:38 |
| anUbuntuUser | youtube plays fine, hulu is what is going to prevent this project from going forward for another year or two | 20:38 |
| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: depends how low you want to go, like absolute max speed - no effects+eyecandy etc basic but clean or just lighter than gnome whilst retaining eye-candy | 20:39 |
| anUbuntuUser | this was supposed to be the intermediate step that would prove to my wife that linux will work fine for her computer too | 20:39 |

| virtualgeekhub | anUbuntuUser: Yeah i tried converting my gf too she had none of ubuntu lol | 20:40 |
| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: i'd go with xfce see if you like it | 20:40 |
| ddrj | erUSUL: how do you do that? | 20:40 |
| GeekSquid | anUbuntuUser: I have no trouble with Hulu on my lappy, and it is 4 years old, sometimes the latest and greatest isn't what works the best | 20:40 |
| _KAMI_ | aeon-ltd: I prefer basic and eye candy, however I am using compiz and it seems more responsible in many cases | 20:40 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: « ip route » ? | 20:40 |
| Jordan_U | anUbuntuUser: You'll be happy to know that while Boxee used to be able to browse Hulu natively, Hulu sued them to remove the feature (even though commercials were still shown, so it was only gaining them revenue) | 20:40 |
| anUbuntuUser | I can't even play a dvd on my laptop ... it's an intel graphics chip with no proprietary driver or anything, about 1 frame per minute with the gpl driver | 20:40 |
| anUbuntuUser | i know about boxee | 20:41 |

| _KAMI_ | aeon-ltd: any other possibilities to increase bootspeed? | 20:41 |
| GeekSquid | Slart: Horde will do that | 20:41 |
| ddrj | erUSUL: they're showing me two wlan's, one is wlan1 and another is wlan0, it says default is via wlan0 | 20:41 |
| ddrj | how do i found out which wlan is assigned to which device ? | 20:42 |
| Jordan_U | anUbuntuUser: I think that linux just isn't a good choice for your media center yet, but you might ask in #mythtv to see if they know of any Hulu alternatives that work well. | 20:42 |
| Slart | GeekSquid: isn't Horde a webclient thing? or it has some kind of backend? | 20:42 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: there you go internet is via wlan0 | 20:42 |
| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: backgrounding daemons, but i'm not sure how to do that in ubuntu | 20:42 |
| anUbuntuUser | there is no alternative to hulu that I know of ... it is content not capability that hulu has | 20:42 |
| anUbuntuUser | and unfortunately content is going to determine the OS we use :( | 20:42 |
| ddrj | erUSUL: right but wlan0 is connected via the built in wifi card or the usb wifi card? how do i know? | 20:42 |
| GeekSquid | Slart: it is a webclient, and it has a backend, which will allow filtering/whitelisting/blacklisting | 20:42 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: lshw -C Network | less | 20:43 |
| Slart | GeekSquid: ah.. I will take a look at Horde then.. thanks for the tip | 20:43 |
| BlaDe | what causes failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-sftp" ? | 20:43 |
| malikeye|123 | any idea why a windows KVM guest is performing like crap on an SSD drive? | 20:43 |
| GeekSquid | Slart: I will tell you it is a B!TC# to setup, you have to install some perl and pecl stuff | 20:43 |
| aeon-ltd | malikeye|123: whats the cpu + ram like? | 20:44 |
| malikeye|123 | aeon-ltd, zero | 20:44 |
| Slart | GeekSquid: sounds like a weekend project then =) | 20:44 |
| malikeye|123 | like no CPU usage, no I/O | 20:44 |
| malikeye|123 | it just runs dog slow | 20:44 |
| malikeye|123 | it's got 2 vCPU's and 1GB of RAM | 20:44 |
| Jordan_U | malikeye|123: Do other VMs on other drives run well? | 20:44 |
| malikeye|123 | it's XP, should be running fast | 20:44 |
| hotfloppy | can someone guide or point me to some nice article regarding how to connect modem huawei e1762 via wvdial or usb_modeswitch.. please.. been searching thru google and tried many tutorial bt still got no succeed.. :( | 20:44 |
| GeekSquid | Slart: Prolly, took me an afternoon the first time | 20:44 |
| ddrj | erUSUL: ah crap, it's using my builtin wifi card (wlan0.. which is faulty), is there a way to assign wlan1 preference over wlan0 ? | 20:44 |
| malikeye|123 | nope, single VM | 20:44 |
| malikeye|123 | it's on a laptop... a W510 | 20:45 |
| chrijon | Hi. Should password authentication over SSH work by default on Ubuntu 10.4 server edition? | 20:45 |
| malikeye|123 | the laptop is sitting like 80% idle | 20:45 |
| Jordan_U | malikeye|123: Does "kvm-ok" report that hardware virtualization is available? | 20:45 |
| malikeye|123 | it's an i7 chip | 20:45 |
| GeekSquid | chrijon: yes | 20:45 |
| anUbuntuUser | well, I have to head out. thanks for the info guys | 20:45 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: why not use the laptop facilities to just disable the card ( added bonus it want draw power). many laptops have a key combo or switch to disable wifi | 20:45 |
| === infotek is now known as novice | ||
| malikeye|123 | Jordan_U, it says "KVM acceleration can be used" | 20:45 |
| === novice is now known as NetwerK | ||
| kitallis | hm | 20:46 |
| malikeye|123 | so I'm guessing it's not then | 20:46 |
| kitallis | :/ | 20:46 |
| ddrj | erUSUL: well, i want to disable the built in wireless card in the laptop and only use the usb wifi card, is that possible to do with ubuntu? | 20:46 |
| malikeye|123 | I just used the KVM doc on the ubuntu site... I usually use fedora, but this laptop like ubuntu better, so | 20:46 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: as i said doing that depends on hardware on most laptops | 20:46 |
| Jordan_U | malikeye|123: No, that means that it is avialable. | 20:46 |
| KaOSoFt | Just a basic question... I have the /var/www/nginx-default/ folder, which comes with owner and group as www-data, the owner can read and write, and the group just read. My question is: MY username, is there a way to let it edit files in that folder? Should I set it as the owner, or as the group with read and write privileges? I don't want other stuff going nuts (like WordPress or Joomla not saving if a setting changes). | 20:46 |
| malikeye|123 | Jordan_U, but does it mean it's not enabled? | 20:46 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: they usually have a button to turn off/on the wifi | 20:46 |
| Slart | GeekSquid: just found something called imapfilter.. seems to be a little more lightweight than horde | 20:47 |
| ddrj | erUSUL: hm... yes, weird part is... when i turn off the wifi button on the laptop, the usb card doesn't work x( | 20:47 |
| Jordan_U | malikeye|123: No, everything is configured properly. | 20:47 |
| malikeye|123 | k | 20:47 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: maybe it acts on both... | 20:47 |
| GeekSquid | Slart: hmm, sounds promising | 20:47 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: try with the rfkill command | 20:47 |
| === christo is now known as Guest76902 | ||
| ddrj | erUSUL: hmm... yeah... i got an idea tho.. what about disabling it via bios? if that doesn't work, i'll try rfkill | 20:47 |
| _KAMI_ | aeon-ltd: I removen slmodem too | 20:47 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: or blacklist the internal wifi driver | 20:47 |
| kesroesweyth | ddrj > physically remove the internal card. many laptops have panels that pop off the bottom of the machine to allow easy access to the card | 20:47 |
| kyngdom | hey fellas, if i deleted my linux partition and am seeing grub-service>, am i fairly hosed if i want to set windows as the boot ? | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | malikeye|123: Is the IO performance of the ssd (just using it outside the VM) pretty good? | 20:48 |
| erUSUL | !blacklist | 20:48 |
| ubottu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 20:48 |
| malikeye|123 | Jordan_U, yes, very | 20:48 |
| ddrj | thanks, checking | 20:48 |
| erUSUL | ddrj: kesroesweyth suggestion is sound too | 20:48 |
| malikeye|123 | the machine is idle, the disk is pretty much idle, no I/O wait... | 20:48 |
| Jordan_U | kyngdom: You're going to need a LiveCD / USB to recover. | 20:48 |
| hotfloppy | search usb_modeswitch | 20:49 |
| malikeye|123 | actually now there is some I/O wait goin on | 20:49 |
| GeekSquid | ddrj: possibly under the keyboard, or behind the screen, depends on the laptop, I can remove my WIfi Card without turning it off, just lift the keyboard and snap | 20:49 |
| kyngdom | of ubuntu im assuming | 20:49 |
| kyngdom | ? | 20:49 |
| kesroesweyth | ddrj > note that the interal card is not hot swappable. power the machine off and remove the battery prior to removing the card | 20:49 |
| kesroesweyth | internal* | 20:49 |
| hotfloppy | !search usb_modeswitch | 20:49 |

| malikeye|123 | during an install of some AV | 20:50 |
| ddrj | ok let me check | 20:50 |
| hotfloppy | !usb_modeswitch | 20:50 |
| Jordan_U | kyngdom: Any liveCD will do, or Super GRUB Disk. | 20:50 |
| GeekSquid | ddrj: kesroesweyth is right, I'd not reccommend removing anything without powering down | 20:50 |
| jumar | Hi! After nvidia install the Plymouth is just ugly. Tried all the stuff on the forums, and now i'm using in "quiet" without splash. Anyone has ideas for Nvidia 140nvs? | 20:50 |

| Ahren_The_Magus | I'm running Hardy Heron, and wish to make a Live USB of Lucid for installation on a PC without a working CD-ROM drive. I have already downloaded the applicable ISO file for a live CD, and have it in my home folder. I tried following the directions for creation of a Live USB from the Ubuntu website, but I do not have a "Startup Disk Creator" within "System > Administration". How do I proceed? | 20:50 |
| kesroesweyth | ddrj > what model is the laptop? | 20:50 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as hoe | ||
| malikeye|123 | Ahren_The_Magus, try unetbootin | 20:50 |
| ddrj | kesroesweyth: it's an older lenovo t61 | 20:50 |
| GeekSquid | hotfloppy: there is really no easy way to do what you want, usb_modeswitch needs to be run before modprobing the card prior to running wvidal | 20:51 |
| ddrj | i have to find the actual model # tho | 20:51 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | malikeye|123: Where do I download or access "unetbootin"? | 20:51 |
| virtualgeekhub | kyngdom: are you hoping to recover the windows boot loader and wipe ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| hoe | i just installed windows 7 into a fresh partition, and am trying to resetup grub to allow me to dual boot windows and ubuntu, but something's wrong and i can't get grub to recognize the original installation | 20:51 |
| ddrj | but what about turning off the built in wifi card in bios? wouldn't that work? | 20:51 |
| Jordan_U | kyngdom: You're welcome. Do you want me to tell you how to do it now or should I wait untill you're connected to IRC from the LiveCD? | 20:51 |
| malikeye|123 | sudo aptitude install unetbootin ? | 20:51 |
| jumar | Ahren, install udb-creator package vis synaptic | 20:51 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | malikeye|123: Thank you. I'm still getting used to using the terminal. | 20:51 |
| kesroesweyth | ddrj > i want to say those were under the keyboard. the bios idea may work if you have that option in the bios at all | 20:51 |
| jumar | sorry... usb-creator | 20:51 |
| aeon-ltd | _KAMI_: wait did you need that for bluetooth? | 20:51 |
| virtualgeekhub | hoe: what does your menu.lst look like? | 20:51 |
| kesroesweyth | ddrj > only way to know is to try! =) | 20:51 |

| jumar | Ahren, type: sudo apt-get install usb-creator in terminal | 20:52 |
| hotfloppy | GeekSquid: doesnt matter either its easy or not.. but could you please lead me to some nice article regarding both of it ? or nice working keyword ? | 20:52 |
| ddrj | kesroesweyth: i am in bios right now, there's an option that says "wirless LAN Radio Frequency" , it's on on right now, turn it to off would disable the wireless card ? | 20:52 |
| Ahren_The_Magus | malikeye|123: Error> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "unetbootin" | 20:52 |
| kyngdom | virtualgeekhub: that was my intention. i had deleted the partition in windows, completely forgetting to deal with grub first. Jordan_U: I am downloading and burning a livecd now. I will do my best to read and fix, but I may need to ask a question later. | 20:52 |

| Ahren_The_Magus | jumar: *nods* Thank you. | 20:56 |
| kyngdom | virtualgeekhub: i suppose my biggest concern was a) interactivity with usb ports and other interfaces, and b) the overall performance degredation of running a VM , although that was just something I assumed.

| notracking | tnx | 21:01 |
| ddrj | ubutom: it's kinda weird... if i enable the builtin wifi card and plugin the usb wifi card, i get internet. so then i remove the usb wifi card and network manager says i'm disconnected but then it falls back on the built in laptop wifi card and finds a network to connect to | 21:01 |
| darkmoon_ | Anyone from Hong Kong here? | 21:01 |
| miniuser | ur welcome : P | 21:01 |
| ddrj | ubutom: kinda weird right? i just want it to use the usb wifi card and not the built in one | 21:01 |

| === Andorin is now known as AK|out | ||
| user01 | im trying to figure out where that all came from | 21:04 |
| ddrj | woahhhhh, everyone who helped me, i am so sorry to have wasted ur time, i just realized whta happened | 21:04 |
| kyngdom | virtualgeekhub: so if i am completely virgin to linux (which i am for all intents and purposes, besides a few installations and abandonments), should i go windows with an ubuntu vm or ubuntu with a windows vm? | 21:05 |
| ubutom | kyngdom, both works, you can even swap the vms between the oses, have dualboot and created another ubuntu and windows installation in a vm just to mess around and then I used the same two with windows and linux just to mess around too ;D | 21:05 |
| malikeye|123 | I think ubuntu is throttling my CPU when this laptop is plugged in | 21:05 |
| kyngdom | ok | 21:05 |
| superannuatedgee | I have just installed Ubuntu server. It of course has a command line interface. The documentation seems to imply that I can install Gnome and use it for many tasks. Is it sufficient to apt-get gnome? Or do I need to install other stuff too? | 21:05 |
| virtualgeekhub | kyngdom: This is of course preference, I personally run Windows in a vm on an Ubuntu host, however I started the other way around. | 21:06 |
| GeekSquid | malikeye|123: that happens by default | 21:06 |
| kyngdom | ok | 21:06 |
| kyngdom | well i certainly appreciate the input from you all | 21:06 |
| ddrj | ubuntu was using BOTH the wifi cards to connect to the net, so i went into network manager, and disconnected the network that the built in wifi card was using and only left it connected on the usb wifi card | 21:06 |
| kyngdom | thank you for being so helpful: ) | 21:06 |
| ubutom | malikeye|123, you can add cpu frequency applet to the taskbar and set the behaviour | 21:06 |
| tic^ | superannuatedgee: why didn't you just install desktop version to start with? | 21:07 |
| virtualgeekhub | kyngdom: Why don't you run an ubuntu vm from a Windows host first just to get the feel for Ubuntu? Then when your brave you can flip that scenario. | 21:07 |
| malikeye|123 | yeah, it's throttling these 1.60GHz down to 900MHz :( | 21:07 |
| kyngdom | i suppose the best thing to do in that case would be to just force myself to work from within that vm | 21:08 |
| jim | is daemontools available as a ubuntu package under 9.10? | 21:08 |
| ubutom | malikeye|123, HAve a dualcore here and added two applets, chose on one cpu0 on the other cpu1 and can also set the mode with a click on it | 21:08 |
| GeekSquid | jim: should be | 21:08 |
| malikeye|123 | ubutom, which app is that? | 21:08 |
| durt | jim, check out packages.ubuntu.com | 21:08 |
| malikeye|123 | the XFCE one doesn't control it | 21:08 |
| guntbert | jim: why would you need them? | 21:09 |
| superannuatedgee | Mostly I was assuming that there is a reason why there exsists a server version. Also, I need the server functionality. I don't need to be able to manage my photo collection. | 21:09 |
| guntbert | !iso | jim | 21:09 |
| ubottu | jim: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 21:09 |
| virtualgeekhub | kyngdom: If your going to be going that route whats our next move? | 21:09 |
| ubutom | malikeye|123, right click the upper taskbar and choose add to panel | 21:09 |
| kyngdom | well at this point im burning a livecd to repair grub | 21:09 |
| === AK|out is now known as Andorin | ||
| GeekSquid | superannuatedgee: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install everyting you need for a desktop install with gnome | 21:10 |
| jim | why? mainly because openacs and daemontools seem to get along well | 21:10 |
| kyngdom | once that's done, i will create a new vm and install 10.04 | 21:10 |
| === cory is now known as Guest26576 | ||
| ubutom | malikeye|123, then go down until you see something like monitor cpu-frequency, have another locale than english here, so it can be named otherwise :) | 21:10 |
| malikeye|123 | ubutom, I'm using XFCE and that XFCE one doesn't actually control it... are you using gnome? | 21:10 |
| tic^ | yes you can install gnome-desktop to the server edition, but your defeating the purpose of the server with teh overhead of the desktop software. | 21:10 |
| Dittersdorf | Hi people. Does anyone having any trouble with Nautilus after the last update? (10.04) | 21:10 |
| kraut | why is nautilus able to follow symlinks on smbfs and the bash not? | 21:10 |
| ubutom | malikeye|123, yeah, I use gnome | 21:10 |
| malikeye|123 | so what is the gnome-app called :) | 21:10 |
| virtualgeekhub | kyngdom: That's cool, don't worry we were ALL new to Ubuntu once too, now it's second nature ;) | 21:10 |
| kyngdom | i have often considered switching my server 08 machine to ubuntu server as well, to assuage my piracy concerns | 21:11 |
| kyngdom | but i figured that was a bit too heavyhanded for a first proecjt | 21:11 |
| kyngdom | project* | 21:11 |
| ubutom | malikeye|123, hhhm, good question :) | 21:11 |
| guntbert | jim: handling an iso is much simpler here - see the hint from ubottu above | 21:11 |
| malikeye|123 | ubutom, right click it and hit "About" | 21:11 |
| bullgard4 | unop: Now: '~$ sudo mkfs -c /dev/sdb1; Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done; Writing inode tables: done; Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done; This filesystem will be automatically checked every 38 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.' -- Is this a effective test for a thumb drive? Or do you recommend another one? | 21:11 |
| tic^ | superannuatedgee: why not install gnome-desktop and install only the services you need from there? unless you install all the server services. | 21:12 |
| ubutom | malikeye|123, as I said, using another language than english :( | 21:12 |
| virtualgeekhub | kyngdom: Yeah maybe that can be your crowning achievement once you get the hand of Ubuntu. | 21:12 |
| malikeye|123 | k | 21:12 |
| virtualgeekhub | kyngdom: *hang | 21:12 |
| unop | bullgard4, i would say this is enough - it doesn't seem to have found anything wrong with the filesystem. | 21:12 |
| bullgard4 | unop: Thank you very much for your excellent help. | 21:13 |
| ubutom | malikeye|123, think cpufreq-applet, thats at least what appears as task | 21:13 |
| malikeye|123 | k | 21:13 |
| virtualgeekhub | kyngdom: Funny though, I just switched from Server 08, I migrated my web site to Ubuntu (Apache), for the same concerns you have, Piracy... | 21:14 |
| unop | kraut, what does the symlink point to?? | 21:14 |
| superannuatedgee | I certainly could have started with Desktop, but I really would be happier if I could simply fire up the desktop when I wished to interact with stuff and then quit it when I was finished. I gather this is an idea born of naivite | 21:14 |
| unop | kraut, readlink -f your_link | 21:14 |
| kraut | unop: to /home/temp | 21:14 |
| malikeye|123 | not seeing that package... but looking at the forums | 21:14 |
| kyngdom | virtualgeekhub: im trying to be as legit as possible and the only real sore thumb sticking out in my entire lan seems to be my server | 21:14 |
| unop | kraut, ok, so what makes you think bash is unable to deal with it? | 21:14 |
| GeekSquid | superannuatedgee: learn to interact with command line, not much you cannot do | 21:15 |
| kyngdom | and im not going to pay 1200 bucks just to have active directory | 21:15 |
| Dittersdorf | hi. My nautilus is starting with 170 mb memory (in a new session). It used to start with 70mb. Is that ordinary? | 21:15 |
| kyngdom | hell i won't even get a technet subscription just for that | 21:15 |
| ubutom | malikeye|123, yeah, confirmed, I killed it to try and the applets disappeared :) | 21:15 |
| kyngdom | well, obviously there are a few other good things about a server, but the point is still that i won't buy it | 21:15 |
| kraut | unop: /home/temp is not within the cifs share | 21:15 |
| tic^ | like i said, you can install gnome desktop on the server edition, but you may not get the performance you exspect because the cup's will be watching for service calls for the desktop while watching for calls for the server. | 21:16 |
| tic^ | superannuatedgee: cpu's | 21:16 |
| Dittersdorf | lag | 21:17 |
| unop | kraut, where on the filesystem does this link exist? or does it not exist at all and this is a samba user home directory share? | 21:17 |
| virtualgeekhub | Yeah Active Directory is a bit pricey, then you need CAL's, all kinds of money spent. | 21:17 |
| virtualgeekhub | lol I keep hitting Shift + Page Up, to scroll the chat windows up, habits die hard... | 21:18 |
| Dittersdorf | hi. My nautilus is starting with 170 mb memory (in a new session). It used to start with 70mb. Is that ordinary? | 21:18 |
| malikeye|123 | ubutom, can you do this? dpkg --search cpufreq-applet | 21:19 |
| ubutom | Dittersdorf, mine sleeps and has 23MB right now | 21:19 |
| ubutom | malikeye|123, did it already, didn'T come up with a result | 21:19 |
| malikeye|123 | hmm | 21:20 |
| malikeye|123 | fully qualify the path? | 21:20 |
| Dittersdorf | ubuntom - it started after I updated the system this morning. where should I report it? | 21:20 |
| solar_george | does anyone around here know which of full encryption of a /home partition using luks or home directory encryption with ecryptfs has the best performance / is most robust? | 21:20 |

| MTecknology | I'm about to have a package built in LP - I made some changes that could potentially break things. So I'm wondering- how can I roll back the update if it does break things? | 21:23 |

| malikeye|123 | yeah, just a few ;) | 21:25 |

| hmca_ | undelete one file on ext3fs ? help..... | 21:26 |
| bastid_raZor | !splash | stephen_ | 21:26 |
| ubottu | stephen_: To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. | 21:26 |
| _KAMI_ | aeon-ltd: ftp://ftp.devall.hu/kami/bootchart/AgentM-lucid-20100622-8.png | 21:26 |

| Jordan_U | kyngdom: Are you planning to just boot windows? | 21:26 |
| kyngdom | that was my intention | 21:27 |
| jiffe | is there a quick way of replacing lines with a specific string with another string in a file? | 21:27 |
| ubutom | !undelete | hmca_ | 21:27 |
| ubottu | hmca_: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel | 21:27 |
| ddrj | how do i find the name of the driver for a built in wifi card that i want to blacklist? | 21:27 |
| Jordan_U | kyngdom: Then you might as well just install a microsoft style mbr rather than trying to use grub. | 21:27 |
| jiffe | perl -pi -e with regex would be my normal method but the string can contain logs of special characters | 21:28 |
| durt | crazycool, you can use synaptic package manager or packages.ubuntu.com to search all the package descriptions available in the official repositories. | 21:28 |
| Jordan_U | kyngdom: "sudo apt-get install mbr && sudo install-mbr /dev/sda" (if your drive is /dev/sda) | 21:28 |

| KaOSoFt | Just a basic question... I have the /var/www/nginx-default/ folder, which comes with owner and group as www-data, the owner can read and write, and the group just read. My question is: MY username, is there a way to let it edit files in that folder? Should I set it as the owner, or as the group with read and write privileges? I don't want other stuff going nuts (like WordPress or Joomla not saving if a setting changes). | 21:35 |
| kyngdom | im sorry. i read your instructions wrong | 21:35 |
| unop | bergLNX, either use +r or use -r - not both at the same time, that's meaningless. | 21:36 |
| bergLNX | unop: indeed, thats why i cant make any sense of this myself | 21:36 |
| malikeye|123 | seems to be faster now | 21:36 |
| kyngdom | i'll install it again, but on the sda | 21:36 |
| bergLNX | i need it to be recursive | 21:36 |
| bastid_raZor | bergLNX: you need to prepend -r with who gets -r .. like o-r meaning owner -read | 21:36 |
| kyngdom | then i'll fix the windows mbr next | 21:36 |
| unop | bergLNX, maybe you meant to use -R ? | 21:36 |
| ubutom | ofixcomp, what program, what media, any errors being reported? | 21:36 |

| grusum | DeadmanIncJS, boot using a LiveCD, see if it still freezes | 21:49 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: there was going to be a transparant feature, but thats been delayed untill 10.10 | 21:49 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: my specs will handle it perfectly. damn it | 21:49 |
| DeadmanIncJS | never thought of that grusum | 21:49 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: so i need to wait until 10.10 to get some real time transparency? not cool, not cool at all | 21:49 |
| DeadmanIncJS | is there a log that is always going that i could proably post to somebody? | 21:49 |
| HotTuna | hiexpo, ;\ | 21:49 |
| grusum | DeadmanIncJS, that's prob why u asked :-P | 21:50 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: you mean the RGB or whatever it was called thing yeah? | 21:50 |
| hiexpo | grusum, what do u mean set the channel ? | 21:50 |
| HotTuna | hiexpo, can I talk to you in PM sir. | 21:50 |
| hiexpo | sure | 21:50 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: yes, something like that. i want real god damn transparency without any pseudo transparency. my specs can handle it. | 21:50 |
| zagabar | I know I had fake transparency yesterday in 10.04 before I formated and reinstalled it. :S But now it is real transparency. :/ | 21:50 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: but not a problem, will wait for 10.10 then :) | 21:50 |
| sebsebseb | !language | DrGrov | 21:50 |
| ubottu | DrGrov: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 21:50 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: yeah except | 21:50 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: whatever 10.10 has for this will probably be quite basic | 21:50 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: needed to remind me of a "g... dam..." ? lol | 21:51 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: anyway in the mean time, you can make your panels transparant | 21:51 |
| xav0989 | e #chat | 21:51 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: yes, that is good idea. panels as transparent will be useful. | 21:51 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: and with the default theme, the terminal has a transparant effect as well | 21:51 |
| zagabar | Oh, lol solved my problem. Turning off the visual effects made it fake transparent. | 21:51 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: i set the transparency on the terminal already. | 21:51 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: if you make the panels big, with transparant effect, that can be fun, since then you can see through to the background | 21:51 |
| DrGrov | zagabar: how did you get "real" transparency? | 21:51 |
| zagabar | DrGrov: I had visual effects set to medium. | 21:52 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: and you can put one on the left and right even just for this, but auto hide, or they take up way to much space | 21:52 |
| zagabar | I saw all windows behind it and all. Very annoying and bloated. X) | 21:52 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: and Compiz has transparant effects I think | 21:52 |
| DrGrov | zagabar: i put the visual effects to maximum :) | 21:53 |
| qwiksilver711 | what is the command in terminal when i'm in a folder to see what other stuff is in it... like if i'm in /home, how do i see what all is in /home? | 21:53 |
| DrGrov | zagabar: i do not have any problems with specs ;) | 21:53 |
| ruelle | hello folks!! how can I set the channel with network manager in adhoc mode? | 21:53 |
| wizard_2010 | how do I use the chmod +x command to change an exe to install via wine i forget lol | 21:53 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: sure, i can try that out. it seems like the transparency is rather good but icons really need to be bigger. | 21:53 |

| DrGrov | sebsebseb: compiz was actually quite good as well. did not find though the transparency settings i was looking for though. | 21:54 |
| sebsebseb | DrGrov: I don't tend to use Compiz, but I think it can do it | 21:54 |

| codeyman1 | clicking on links in evolution opens up ff.. but my default browser is chrome | 21:55 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: i think my specs would be able to handle full transparency all the way around. not sure too | 21:55 |
| qwiksilver711 | why then when i try to go to /home/qwiksilver711 it keeps saying no such file? its there, ls says it is | 21:55 |
| codeyman1 | how can I fix this? | 21:55 |
| DrGrov | sebsebseb: thanks for your kind help :) | 21:55 |

| codeyman1 | clicking on links in evolution opens up ff.. but my default browser is chrome. How can I fix this? | 21:55 |
| unop | qwiksilver711, make sure you have the case right. i.e. qwiksilver711 is not the same as Qwiksilver711 or qwikSilver711 for e.g. | 21:56 |
| unop | qwiksilver711, also, you can use tab to correctly complete the filename for you. i.e. ls qw<Press_TAB_now> | 21:56 |

| qwiksilver711 | /home/qwiksilver711 | 21:58 |
| Misantropo | wizard_2010, not in flash, but in ubuntu i do have sound | 21:58 |
| tic^ | qwiksilver711: because you are already in your home folder | 21:58 |
| wizard_2010 | Misantropo, then its the driver for your sound card not flash | 21:58 |
| unop | qwiksilver711, exactly like that? | 21:58 |

| ubottu | wizard_2010: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 21:59 |
| unop | qwiksilver711, odd | 21:59 |
| ubutom | tic^, that should work as well if he is in his home folder | 21:59 |
| qwiksilver711 | yeah | 21:59 |
| wizard_2010 | _jesse_, does not seem to work I dont see and different output of nothing works ? | 22:00 |
| qwiksilver711 | what does tar xf alsa-driver mean? | 22:00 |
| _jesse_ | wizard_2010: there shouldn't be any output from chmod, you can do an ls -l to see the permissions | 22:00 |
| unop | qwiksilver711, it untars a tar archive - probably named alsa-driver.tar | 22:00 |

| ddrj | when i put my usb wifi card in first and THEN start up ubuntu, it doesn't connect to the internet | 22:26 |
| ddrj | is that because the driver isn't loaded when ubuntu starts? | 22:26 |
| wizard_2010 | ddrj, could be | 22:26 |
| Jordan_U | ddrj: Could you file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug linux"? | 22:26 |

| mahound_ | hello | 22:31 |
| ajhwolf | Jordan_U, archive manager | 22:31 |
| Slart | ajhwolf: I think that extra ;1 is something coming from the iso format.. I can't really remember but it has some significance for the cd file system.. that the extractor didn't remove might be a feature or a bug.. hard to tell.. try mounting it instead.. then you'll get proper filenames | 22:32 |
| bobg | i installed pre-release lucid. Will "apt-get upgrade" get me the equivalent to the release version, or should I reinstall? | 22:33 |
| Slart | bobg: you'll get the real version when you update | 22:34 |
| Jordan_U | ajhwolf: For whatever reason, archive manager is not recognising the rockridge or joliet extentions, which means you're left with 8.3 filenames. | 22:34 |
| bobg | thanks Slart | 22:34 |
| ajhwolf | Jordan_U, is there a way to fix that? | 22:34 |
| Jordan_U | ajhwolf: Try mounting it with mount instead. | 22:34 |
| Jordan_U | !iso | ajhwolf | 22:34 |
| ubottu | ajhwolf: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 22:34 |

| VCoolio | augdawg: not sure; I've never seen it being used in icon theme sets, just for single application icons sometimes | 23:27 |
| bazhang | magellan, that would have been helpful to mention prior | 23:27 |
| fr3ak | SlidingHorn, Any other details u need? | 23:27 |
| magellan | is it because it netbook version | 23:27 |
| puff | bazhang: Where do I enable third party sources in synaptic? There's a Settings/Repositories menu entry, which brings up a dialog with a Third PArty Sources tab, but that tub just lists the repos I already havef. | 23:27 |
| bazhang | puff, you dont need to add the repo | 23:27 |
| SlidingHorn | fr3ak, unless you tell us what the *actual* problem is...we cannot help you...you can tell us everything there is to know about what kind of card it is...that doesn't help us. | 23:28 |
| augdawg | okay thanks again VCoolio! | 23:28 |
| augdawg | bye! | 23:28 |
| magellan | is it because its notebook version | 23:28 |
| puff | bazhang: Okay, so what do I do to "enable 3rd party sources"? Is there a checkbox somewhere? Because I'm not seeing it. | 23:28 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, i think w32codecs is in the medibuntu repos | 23:28 |
| bazhang | puff, please listen | 23:28 |
| fr3ak | I already said that any kernel module isn't being loaded for the device | 23:28 |
| puff | bazhang: I am listening. | 23:28 |
| BluesKaj | !medibuntu | puff | 23:28 |
| ubottu | puff: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 23:28 |
| fr3ak | Its works fine under splashtop which is a variant of linux | 23:28 |
| bazhang | puff, just download the .deb | 23:29 |
| magellan | @bashang: i only have one panel on the top | 23:29 |
| puff | bazhang: Okay. | 23:29 |
| fr3ak | It is a PCI card | 23:29 |
| bazhang | magellan, well same advice applies as before; click on top panel ; add to panel, etc | 23:29 |
| fr3ak | And what more? | 23:29 |
| fr3ak | do you need? | 23:29 |
| * excalq wishes synergy was on the liveCD... | 23:30 | |

| tripelb | bastid_raZor, it is TPB. But it's then the first I've ever gotten. IT's the right size. | 23:33 |
| tripelb | I'll recheck the source. | 23:33 |
| puff | But I can't upgrade yet because I'm out of disk space. I either need to back up and install from scratch, or backup and resize my partitions, then upgrade. | 23:33 |

| tripelb | correction bastid_raZor not. TPB. | 23:34 |

| puff | Seaphor: It is, actually. | 23:34 |
| tripelb | ok will be good | 23:34 |
| puff | Seaphor: But it's the root partition that's too small. | 23:34 |

| puff | BluesKaj: Upgrade with only 168MB free space on my root partition? Surely you jest :-). | 23:35 |
| magellan | Is it possible the ubuntu 10.4 notebook version doesn't have a multiple workspace on it | 23:35 |
| magellan | its impossible right. | 23:35 |
| bazhang | magellan, likely | 23:35 |
| Seaphor | puff: what size is your / part? | 23:35 |
| puff | Seaphor: root is 5GB, home is 10GB, bulk partition is 30GB, swap is 4GB. | 23:36 |
| BluesKaj | ok puff. you gotta be kidding ...nothing like living on the edge of data loss with such little headroom | 23:36 |
| coz_ | magellan, do you have compiz enabled? | 23:36 |
| fr3ak | SlidingHorn, No luck with that | 23:36 |
| puff | BluesKaj: Yeah, like I said, my only out is to rebuild or resize. | 23:36 |
| SlidingHorn | magellan, you never told me you were working ont he netbook version...did you post the screen shot? | 23:36 |
| magellan | coz_: pardon what compiz | 23:36 |
| bazhang | puff, reduce the swap then? | 23:36 |
| SlidingHorn | fr3ak, sorry man, that's the only thing I found that someone said worked :-\ | 23:37 |
| magellan | wait sliding horn | 23:37 |
| fr3ak | :) | 23:37 |
| magellan | what site is it | 23:37 |
| Seaphor | puff: no need for swaap tobe that big, you'll never use that much unless you have massive vms or something | 23:37 |

| fr3ak | I have tried every thing found over the internet | 23:37 |
| simps | Hi all. I am dual booting Ubuntu and Windows. And I want to change the default boot menu. How might I do that? | 23:37 |
| fr3ak | I even tried writing a drive for my device | 23:37 |
| coz_ | magellan, rather "no" compiz for netbook | 23:37 |
| SlidingHorn | fr3ak, there's a chance it's not supported @ all...have you tried posting on the forums? http://ubuntuforums.org | 23:38 |
| HaPK | simps, what do you want to do? change how it looks? | 23:38 |
| fr3ak | But as I cannot access the higher configuration space of the device | 23:38 |
| simps | change the default and whatnot | 23:38 |
| fr3ak | I have recently posted it under ubuntu | 23:38 |
| BluesKaj | simps , change it to ? | 23:38 |
| fr3ak | Yes I think it is not supported currently | 23:38 |
| simps | make it boot windows on default | 23:38 |
| aaroncampbell_ | Where would I be able to see what fonts I currently have installed? | 23:38 |
| fr3ak | So was thinking of writing a driver | 23:38 |
| Eighteens | simps, you can change the c:\boot.ini from windows | 23:38 |
| Pax-Man | Hi, I'm running FileZilla and want it to shut my computer down when finish. It allows me to run a script when transfer is done, so I can make a file and make that shut my computer down. I know that I must use "sudo shutdown -h now" but if it's running from my app how can I make it type my password? I mean if I save the file how do I know if it has acess to do that? | 23:39 |
| puff | bazhang, Seaphor: It's a laptop, and swap is used for suspend-to-disk. | 23:39 |
| SlidingHorn | magellan, press the Print Screen key on your keyboard & post the screen shot to a site like imageshack or something similar...give us the link and we'll try to take a look at your screen because it doesnt' sound like you have a regular GNOME DE installed | 23:39 |
| fr3ak | Can you suggest me any tools for dumping upper PCi configuration space under Windows 7 - 64 bit | 23:39 |
| puff | bazhang, Seaphor: Though tht's something I hadn't considered... maybe I coudl squeeze a gig out fo it. | 23:39 |
| bazhang | fr3ak, try in ##windows | 23:39 |
| fr3ak | what in windows? | 23:39 |
| fr3ak | bazhang, what in windows? | 23:40 |

| klandwehr | Need a good tutorial for auto mounting a network hard drive, any suggestions? | 23:40 |
| SlidingHorn | !automount | klandwehr | 23:41 |
| ubottu | klandwehr: Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab. For more info - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs | 23:41 |
| puff | Seaphor: I have 2GB of memory, so I made it 4GB of swap. | 23:41 |
| puff | Seaphor: But, you've sold me on it, now how hard/tricky is it? | 23:41 |

| magellan | slidinghorn: whats your judgement | 23:43 |
| SlidingHorn | magellan, ok..you're using the netbook version which has the multiple workspaces "disabled" (set to just 1) -- here's how to change that (inside the thread is a link telling how to do it from command line): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1345974 | 23:44 |

| xsaiddx | how can i change the language in my gimp please | 23:44 |
| magellan | slidinghorn: tnx will try ill be back if i finish | 23:44 |
| SlidingHorn | progesterone, you can edit the screen shot with GIMP or another image editor | 23:44 |
| SlidingHorn | magellan, no prob :) | 23:44 |
| * Cuberoot is guessing /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d somewhere | 23:45 | |
| progesterone | SlidingHorn Is there any other software which is not as complicated as GIMP? | 23:46 |
| Cuberoot | ah, there we go. I think it's GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub | 23:47 |
